A member asked:
Left breast lump found on bse; had mammogram followed by u/s. complex cyst w/debri (5mm) identified. told to have repeat mammogram in 1 year but how do i know for sure the "debri" isn't worrisome? should i get 2nd opinion or request biopsy?

Breast cyst.: Given that your age does put you at risk for breast cancer, unfortunately, with or without a family history of such, a second opinion wouldn't hurt. Complex cysts are a bit more worrisome than simple cysts as they have some contents. I wouldn't panic right now, but a second opinion or a breast MRI wouldn't be a bad idea.
