Mamogram: focal asymetry ill marginated; sonogram: some findings, come back fr mri, should i be worried?

Complete the workup: You do not know yet. What is true: 1. Mammogram was not completely normal or definitely benign 2. Ultrasound was also not completely normal or definitely benign therefore, need additional testing to try to determine the cause and significance of the finding. Mri may be able to prove a benign cause. If not, a biopsy may be necessary to look at the cells under a microscope.

It sounds like: there is an equivocal abnormality that needs MRI for further clarification. Don't worry yet, complete the workup and see what the result is. If it was a definitive abnormality on mammo and/or ultrasound, a biopsy rather than MRI would likely have been recommended.
