Tawny,

I just went through the same sort of thing. I was told the reason

they do the mammogram first is it is more sensitive to abnormalities

and picks up things ultrasound misses. However, mammo doesn't

differeniate between solid and cyst. They use the mammo to guide them

where to look on the ultrasound. The ultrasound is supposed to be

very accurate in diagnosing a lump to be a cyst or solid mass(which

needs to be biopsied).

Good luck to you.
