| Re: mammogram after an ultrasound????
Klo-
Yes, usually they do a mammogram 1st or in conjunction with an ultrasound.
As, I understand it, the tests pick up slightly different information: The mammogram shows there is "something there," where as a ultrasound may suggest whether it is solid or fluid-filled, like a cyst.
The only way to know for sure is to biopsy it. - Remember 80% of lumps are beneign, but I would definitely check it out, just to make sure.
I had a diagnostic mammogram and mine took about a wk to get back. Let them know you want a call with the results and not just a letter in the mail.
Best of luck.
