Understanding letter after Breast Clinic Appointment

I was just rereading the letter I received after my breast clinic appointment.

It says "no abnormalities felt in the breast or axilla and mammogram M2/M2.  I understand that M2 means benign lesions, what does M2/M2 mean or is that typos?  Ultrasound is a U4 lesion in the sub areolar which I understand to mean they think its cancer but are not quite sure.

Please could you confirm that I have understood this correctly.  Thank you.

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    M2 mammogram result is benign, but don't know what an M2/M2 is, it might be a typo.

    U4 is an ultrasound result that says suspicious and possibly cancer.

    Having tests done can be worrying so I hope you have an appointment soon to discuss them further.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline 

  • Quick note to let you know despite being a U4 the lesion is benign. Support on thr forum has helped get me through the last 4 weeks, so relieved its over. Thanks to everyone.
