I am 42 old, female. I was on mammography two weeks ago. My doctor sad that I am on birad scale 4 .They scheduled me surgery next months. I am very nervous and I even though he assured me that procedure is not painful, but I am still worried. I don’t even know what does that 4 on biard scale means. Can someone explain me? Thank you

Birad scale is scale used by radiologist to standardize the readings of mammograms which are classified according to 5 categories.1 category is negative-nothing to comment on and 5 is highly suggestive of malignancy; five is highly suggestive of showing cancer. As your result is 4 I guess that surgery is necessary. Anyway, you can always repeat mammo or ask for second opinion. Take care.
