Dr. Regina Hampton answered

Specializes in Breast Surgery

???: Can you clarify your question? Are you going in for a mammogram or ultrasound? Are you going to see a breast specialist for an exam? Are you going in for surgery-if so, I hope you had a needle biopsy beforehand. If you already have a doctor, then I recommend contacting him/her for more information about what you are having done and why. Good luck.
