Dear latin40, A BIRADS 4 rating of an ultrasound or mammogram describes a suspicious looking abnormality that is not characteristic but has a reasonable probability of malignancy, and a biopsy should be considered. In other words, based on the testing done they cannot rule out that something is cancer. So to be on the safe side a biopsy of the suspicious area is recommended.
I was schedule for a core needle biopsy but when they finish they had cut a little bit and remove a bigger piece of the mass. Is this normal? I'm still waiting for the results of the biopsy, they should be ready today. They didn't tell me why they did that.
