A member asked:
42 yrs old hx of cyst on right breast drained once dr requested ultrasound on same spot after bad mammogram should i beworried about cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No not really: CYSTS ARE BENIGN. THEY AREA COMMON AND QUITE HARMLESS. BREASTS NEED TO BE CHECKED WITH EITHER MAMMOGRAM OR ULTRASOUND. THAT IS WHY YOUR DOCTOR HAS ADVISED YOU TO DO AN ULTRASOUND. SO GO AHEAD WITHOUT ANY WORRY.
