Why is nothing straightforward? Any advice please

I had a mammogram and the radiologist saw a 'shadow', as it was new since the previous mammogram a few years ago it was biopsied and it came back as completely normal benign breast tissue.

Went for my follow up and the breast consultant is still considering removing it even though it's benign due to the fact it showed as something new on the mammogram. He seemed a bit baffled by it.

This has totally confused me, I don't know what to think, why remove something that's completely benign.

Anybody else been through this?

Thanks

Guiltyw, I had a huge cyst last year, doctor said if it did not drain itself out, she wanted me to have it drained out and also send it to the lab. She did not want it to hide any abnormalities in the future. The radiologist who did my ultrasound just said if it bothered me or became painful I could have it drained. No worries. Maybe it is the same in your case?
