I agree with japdip. You really should not be in a position like this where you have no idea what's going on. I would make as many calls as it takes to find out for sure if you have cause to be worried or not.
But, as japdip says, if nobody spoke to you, and it doesn't say anything like recommendation for biopsy or further imaging, or ultrasound, I think you are OK. They also usually attack a number to the impression they get. between 0 and 5, I think. does your report show anything like that?
"Well circumscribed nodule" is ofen used to describe a nodule that appears to have a line drawn around it. This term is used when describing cysts, hematomas or mammary lymph nodes. If nothing further was recommended following your mammogram I wouldn't be too concerned about these findings. Regards ....

Since I got the mammogram report I have been surfing the net. But no success. I know it could not be something good. My last year's mamo showed nothing suspicious. I really cannot wait anymore. I am just dying.

Hi!
I can't tell you the exact definition of "well-circumscribed nodules" means. Have you tried googling the phrase? Is this phrase from your diagnostic report? Do you have a dr. that read your mammogram that can help you interpret the results?
I'll try to find the answer, and write again, ok?
Warm regards,
Chris
