Dear Sharon,
I am NOT a radiologist nor do not play one on TV. I am a bit curious as to why you are getting an ultrasound? Could this be an ultrasound guided biopsy? The resolution on ultrasounds are much poorer than the resolution of a ct scan. This perplexes me. Any mention as to what the 'suspicious' finding was? In what area?
You asked, what should you ask the physician? Sharon, if it were me personally, I would have the films rereviewed. At which time, I would ask the physician to clarify 'suspicious' finding and give a location. Once I had that information, I would request a petscan. If the suspicious finding was in an area namely soft tissue, I might request an MRI of the area.
Sharon, you have been proactive in the management of your health and I commend you for such! You Rock! Despite our efforts, in some sick way we have been programmed to get anxious or spooked when our medical teams uses words like abnormal, suspicious and such. You must remember that all things are truly possible and have faith that you will get through this part of your journey as gracefully as you have thus far. Keep kickin' alittle cancer a#$ and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers!
Holly
