I had a mammogram a few years ago that they saw something suspicous on..it was the same side as my lumpectomy. My oncologist did not want to order an ultrasound because he felt he knew what it was, scar tissue. I went around him and had a doctor at the hospital where they do the mammograms at order a ultrasound, sure enough it was just scar tissue. Didn't do a biopsy because they felt it wasn't necessary. It has never lit up on pet scans or anything.
