A little worried

I had a mammogram screening last Monday and received a call from my doctors office that I needed to come back to the drs. office so that he could go over the results.  The nurse stated that the doctor would probably request more views.  At the doctors visit, he told me that the mammogram showed a 4mm mass on my right breast and not to worry about it.  It was very tiny, but that I needed to have additional mammogram and ultrasound scheduled.  He was thinking it was a cyst.  Worried.  
Any advice?

Thank you for the advice.  I do feel better about the whole situation.  It is very easy to get worked up and think the worst when you get a callback for a mammogram.

this is nothing to be worrying about .... getting a call back after a mammogram; especially a screening mammorgram is not at all unusual. With a screening mammo there are only a vew films done and very often more views are needed as well as an untrasound. The only advice I have is to make the appointment for the additional views and the US and then discuss those results with your Dr.    Regards .....
