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.

Hi Cindy,
July 11, 2011 - 4:54pmMedical terminology can be confusing to patients. I suggest that you speak with your physician. He or she should have received a report of your May 2011 mammogram. Until then, somewhat nodular moderately dense fibroglanular tissue means moderately dense lumpy breast tissue. Again, follow your physician's recommendations for further testing.
