Mammogram findings

I just had two mammograms and an ultrasound and received a report that said the following:
MLO projection shows a persistent, well circumscribed nodular density in the inner lower quadrant of the right breast.  On the 90 lateral projection, the density is seen in the lower breast.  Ultrasound of the density was performed.  At 5:00, 5 cm from the nipple there is a 7x5x3 mm solid, well-defined hypoechoic mass.  The borders are smooth and well-defined.  
IMPRESSIONS: Persistent nodular density in the 5:00 position of the right breast which correspondes to a solid, hypechoic mass on ultrasound
BIRADS 4: Suspicious Abnormality,

Can you give me some positive feedback?  Something like " this is common?  Does not sound like cancer?  I am going for a biopsy on Monday.

Only the biopsy can tell for sure if an abnormality is cancer or benign. A fair number of BIRAD 4 scores do come back as benign at biopsy. Obviously there is a proven nodule both by Mammogram and Ultrasound and you are taking the appropriate action to find it's cause. Waiting is far from pleasant but it's a necessary evil when it comes to circumstances such as these. Try to stay calm and don't jump to conclusions. Best Wishes on Monday .....
