Try to keep: A good perspective. The radiologist is being careful and making sure the breast tissue is completely evaluated. Many times the follow up shows the initial finding to be benign. Bottom line, you appear to be receiving good care and make sure to be there for your follow up appointment.

It is normal: to be concerned, but about 80% of the time when the extra views are done it turns out to be nothing of concern.
