  Report

  Hi,
  
  I had a follow up ultrasound after a central duct excision and aspiration of a possibly complex cyst.
  The report reads as follows:
  
  "There are retroareolar ducts on both sides that are mildly ectatic and there are a few small cysts in this area, measuring up to approx 8mm. No solid or suspicious lesion within either breast was seen and there was no axillary lymphadenopathy."
  
  So my question is regarding the cysts, would they comment on whether the cysts were complex or simple? My gp said he assumes they would, but I just wondered.
  
  Thanks for your time,

  Hi Stella! Just wanted to check out the best way to approach this with our nursing team and their response was to talk through the results with your medical team.
  It is very difficult in this forum to read results for clients, as while this reports appears normal to them, its interpretation should be reported with the clinical team for an accurate interpretation.
  Sorry we cannot give you any more at this point but I am sure you can understand we have limited information and you will get a much better picture of what is going on from the team working with you 'on the ground' so to speak.
  Let me know how you go!
  Warm regards
