Re: Mommogram report ?

I would recommend you speak with your health care provider and insist upon a biopsy if not already planned.

A mammogram cannot offer a definitive assessment of any mass or lump.

My thoughts are with you. I'm sure this is a difficult time, but you will be best served to get as much information as possible as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Deborah Wage, FNP,CNM
