Really nervous of Mammogram test results

It says left breast has possible focal asymmetry...and needs another image done. I look up what that means and often time it's simply benign cysts, it's tissue that seemed more apparent on the image. I did have benign cysts last year in the area, so I'm hoping that's what it is. I'm nervous now, because there's always a small percentage it's cancer. But fingers crossed.
Just another thing to worry about 🥺

@Coralmist If they insist, do it. They found a tiny spot on my mother's mammogram and said it's nothing. They told her not to worry, but she demanded another mammogram. When the spot turned up again, they did a biopsy and discovered it was cancerous. If she had listened to them, she would have gone home for a whole year, with cancer before her next mammogram. I looked at her chart, and the doctor wrote that she was overly concerned.

@WonderGirl Wow unbelievable...was it stage 1, were they able to get rid of it,?

@Coralmist Yes, it was a tiny tumor or cyst. She wanted a double mastectomy, but the Insurance would not pay. So they created a small breast from the mastectomy and had the other one reduced enough to match.
