Dazlin, Mayo is very thorough, so what might slip by elsewhere will not at Mayo. While not an asymmetry issue, I did have Mayo suggest a followup mammogram and then needle biopsy after reviewing the mammogram records that I brought with me. Turned out fine. In general 80%-85% of all biopsies do not find cancer. Odds are with you. Please go forward with your care.

@elsie37 , thank you for your encouragement. So wonderful your ok!
I've been a patient at Mayo for several years, other issues. I think they take precautions with me, but yes, they are absolutely thorough...no stone unturned. Sometimes I get annoyed because I ALWAYS get called back for further tests. This mamogram is my 1st there, and I'm told its pretty common they may want a repeat mamogram. I have an appointment Tuesday Nov, 12th...mamogram and ultrasound. I'm not afraid...been down these paths of tests, and worrying or running progressions wreaks havoc on me! I'm not entertaining negative thoughts when all may be well. Should anything be wrong...I'll cross that bridge then. All said, none of this is easy, and I'm kinda aggravated.
