I had an abnormal mammogram in Dec and did an ultrasound as follow up which came back as a Bi-Rads category 5; 95% certainty of malignancy. I had already prepared myself that I had cancer and started researching treatment options etc. Well I got my biopsy results today and it states that there are a number of benign findings going on; fibroadenomatoid change, usual ductal hyperplasia, columnar cell change and adenosis. While I want to take the positive news, it is so out of line with the imaging findings that I feel like I need a second pathology opinion for peace of mind. So I’m curious if anyone else had a benign result come back from category 5 imaging and whether they felt comfortable with that diagnosis or anyone was able to send their biopsy results to a second pathology lab?

I can understand your confusion at what seems to be a mismatch between the scan and the diagnosis.
I wonder if contacting the nurses on here would help you?
