    Additional mammogram + ultrasound
    I am 55 yrs old and had my annual mammogram yesterday. The doctor called me today and said I need to go back in and have an additional mammogram and also an ultrasound of the breast. Needless to say I am terrified. Should I be worried? What does all this mean?

    He gave no explanation? Usually there's a "We noticed a ---- when we did the mammogram...." If they don't talk, please never hesitate to ask them questions.

    Call his office to find out more.
