I am confused!

I had a FNA biopsy done on a 1cm nodule on my right lobe.  The results came back indeterminate and I don't go back for a consult for almost a month.  That is a long time of worrying.  What usually happens with these results or what are the options and what do these results mean?  They did a sonogram and thought they might have seen microcalcifications but I don't understand then why they can't make a determination.  I am scared.....

They have to send the results to the experienced pathologist; inconclusive result means thye found the cells that can be found in more then one condition.
