BI-RADS 3

I had a mammogram and accompanying ultrasound last week. It was pretty much business as usual (though the ultrasound technician was a man, which had potential to be slightly awkward just Because -- but we both valiantly and stoically powered through the procedure). It was not as uncomfortable as last time, which was nice. 

Results have been posted. On the BI-RADS scale (leaving aside the outliers of 0 and 6, with 1 being negative, and 5 being highly suggestive of malignancy), the report indicated BI-RAD 3, which means essentially, "there are a couple of weird things in there but probably nothing to worry about but still come back sooner rather than later just in case". 

I'll take that.
