Ok, that's just not good enough. Since when do surgeons take suggestions from the mammographer. Isn't it their job to get the referral and do what's on it?
I can totally understand that you would want the follow up. I've had multiple ambiguous results and have had mammograms and MRI every three months for the past year. Nobody ever questioned the amount of scans I was having but me.

Definitely take your referral somewhere else so you can get the peace of mind.
All the best lovely. I hope you get it sorted and maybe a call to the breast care nurse would be helpful.
