Joyce, I'm confused as to why they would wait 6 months to do a biopsy. Did they give you a reason? If so, what was it?

As you will soon learn, I am the resident nosey nurse who has medical advice for everyone and I would advise you to get a second opinion. If I had a lump in my breast, there is no way I would wait 6 months. Early treatment for breast lumps is by far the best course of action, no matter what they turn out to be.

That said, I also have fibrocystic breasts and I sometimes have lumps. I have had 2 biopsies (benign) and have to sometimes have ultrasounds after my mammograms. Fibrocystic disease casues lumpy breasts. So, please don't worry too much, but please do get a second opinion!
