Hey Cindy - I agree with Maryann. I think I would follow up with my PCP. Don't just assume that they your report was flagged for review. I also have lumpy breast tissue. I have to admit when I find lumps that are "concerning" or still there after a few months, I typically have repeat studies. I also have my mammos done by Radiologists who specialize is breast readings only. One interesting thing I have learned over the last year and two biopsies later is that enlarged lymph tissues feels like a small rubbery type ball which can be elongated and concerning tissue feels like a hard area. Typically with breast cancers you will see "pickling" of the skin. I hope this helps. I will be thinking about you.
