Greetings @casa. As others have said,
(1) your doctor should go over your results in detail with you and answer all your questions.
(2) a second opinion is always a good idea.
(3) In addition, I also found the following guide to reading your pathology report helpful.

Additional note: when the doctor goes over my results with me, I ask them to go over the narrative in detail (with my questions ready or after). However, I also ask them to bring up any images and show me what the narrative is referring to. I have found this very helpful in having a full understanding.
