Don't panic. You have time and need to wait for your doctor to return. If s/he is not a breast specialist, you may want to search for a reliable one. There are other diagnostic techniques, MRI being one of them. So, if the mammog and ultra are not conclusive, the MRI may be. Also, as long as this can be found via mammog, you can have a biopsy done. What they do is put a fine wire in your breast while you are in the mammog, and then the surgeon has the wire in you and the mammog showing where the wire and the mass is, and they remove a part of it. Chances are excellent this is nothing, but you do need to be sure, and you are doing the right things.
