cancer

I was diagnosed in 1995 with DCIS small tumor 1cm.  I have been fine up until beginning of June when a lump my doctor found was seen on ultrasound but nothing on mammogram.  As the ultrasound was determined to be inconclusive my doctor suggested a core needle biopsy which was done on June 13th, 2012.  Results would be available in 7 days however they were not available for 12.  I read the pathology reports with my doctor.  No sign of abnormality.  Fibrodemna (scar tissue)..I was ecstatic.  Today..........I was called by my doctor again to say that the radiologist had sent an addendum report stating that I should have a follow up ultrasound in 2 months...(so 2 and half months after a needle biopsy that was benign?? What is going on?  Why would they be doing a follow up ultrasound so soon if both pathology reports were benign results?  Thank-you.

Hey sunshine this is good news that their is nothing to worry about regarding that tumor. Most of the time we got thrombolic as this is just clotting of blood that is detected in ultrasound rather then mammogram. If this is solid tumor then it will be time for you to think. Cheers. Wish you good luck . But Doctor want to confirm that thing.

thank you so much for taking time to write...I have had biopsy and all clear but radiologist wants to just make sure nothing changes in a few months and he said it could not even be there in a few months...thanks for writing to me I appreciate it
