You'd want to check with your doctor for a full interpretation of this, Annie. It sounds like a fairly normal report - did you see a BIRADS score anywhere? If so, 0-2 is normal; 3 means "watch and wait," with a 6-month follow-up; and 4-6 will probably require a biopsy. As I said, though - for the best information, speak with your doctor. Take care- PJH
