Confused
Hi everyone
i am brand new to this group and am hoping someone can help me through some confusion.
A long story that I can hopefully cut short.
I have had a sore left breast and shoulder now for awhile 3 years or so. Mammogram and ultrasound three years ago showed lots of ducts on the side but no other issues.
Due to it still be there 3 years later I recently self initiated an appointment and went to breast screen and had a mammogram to check it out. I was recalled today and had a an ultrasound and mammogram. Spoke to the dr and given the all clear and to come again in 2 years.
now here the story gets interesting.....
I mentioned to my gp at a visit 4 weeks ago that it was still sore and she suggested a shoulder and back X-ray and ultrasound and mammogram through a imaging place. I thought what the heck I'd do them both. So I had the second tests and have visited my dr ( who wanted to see me within ten days of the results) and she has advised that I need to have a fine needle biopsy in my left breast as the tests shown slightly enlarged milk ducts and some tiny white spots.
So so my questions.
she didn't need to see me asap only within ten days. Would this mean it's not urgent / critical?
why would one screen be clear and the other not??
what do the dots mean and the milk ducts?
Im feeling to anxious and scared and confused.
