Don’t be afraid. They mark everything as birad4 as long as they are not almost 100% sure. MRI is too sensitive that it constantly pick up the wrong thing. Last Dec my MRI picked up a 15cm long band on my lung. Contrast CD scan two weeks later found nothing; the same MRI also found suspicious area and from the description really sounded like cancer on another breast. I ended up going through ultrasound and mammogram and its calcifications. However Radiologist still sent me to biopsy and also put a birad 4 on my radiologist report. The biopsy said I had ADH and needed to be removed since ADH will gradually increase the chance of getting breast cancer. I ended up having another mastectomy and the surgical pathology report didn’t find ADH at all. It’s all benign!

Presumably all those false positives with MRIs are the reason PET scans are preferred in Australia. But you can't have a PET scan if you have high blood sugar. Bit of a mystery!
