Hi Mona: They've seen something on your mammogram, and want to ascertain what it is. Oftentimes, they suspect a bennign cyst, which the ultrasound will confirm or not. If they still can't confirm, they may want to schedule a biopsy. DO NOT PANIC.  Understand that 85% of biopsies show benign (non-cancerous) lumps. Good luck to you, and hope you get a good result - PJH
