Bev, Thanks so much for your reply. I am not at all worried about the BIRADS 2 rating. I am just mad that I called almost daily for "3 wks" to get the reports sent to my house. Was told over and over there in the mail. Talked to the nurse almost daily and NOT once did she mention the results to me...or that I should be followed-up in 3 months with *US* on both breasts. I have a *right* to know...and not months later.

I've had lots of pain & burning in both sides so I wanted the results and they knew it. I just feel its my business to know if they rated it a BIRADS 2 on both tests. And I had a right to the path results of my seroma...and not a month later.

Thanks again Bev.

Chelee
