I don't think you have any serious findings.

Hello XXXXXXX

I don't think you have any serious findings.If there had been any complications then it must had been seen by your radiologist.Radiologist must wanted to confirm the findings it there was any abnormality.

Moreover,you didn't had any abnormal findings during palpation.Breast cancer nodule must had been palpated during examination.

I don't think there is any need to be panicky,you should confirm the findings tomorrow with your doctor.

Get well soon.
