2/21/19: My PCP Called Me

The Breast Imaging location sent the radiologist's report directly to my PCP. My PCP called my cell phone, but since I'm not actually a big cell phone user, I missed the call, and she left a message.

She reiterated the radiologist's finding regarding the sebaceous cyst, and repeated the recommendation for using a warm compress. She noted that the radiologist suggested a 3-month follow-up ultrasound, but then suggested that I could ask for a 1-month follow-up, if I wanted. She also said she would put in a referral for me to see the Breast Center. 

I decided my PCP was erring on the side of caution with the 1-month follow-up and the Breast Center referral. I chose to stick with the radiologist's 3-month follow-up recommendation. Regarding the Breast Center, I actually had some questions: Where is this Breast Center? What kind of specialist would I be seeing? Again, I figured I would trust the radiologist's opinion, and not follow up with the Breast Center just yet.
