Had a mammogram. Doctor's office called to do another mammogram and ultrasound. It’s a 5mm focal asymmetry on the right side. My appointment is until March 26, and I’m very concerned. How old am I? Any family history of breast cancer? When was my previous mammogram study?

About 3 weeks ago, I went in for my annual Pap test and it came back abnormal, showing CIN1. My gynecologist scheduled a colposcopy, and the biopsy results came back normal. Can a Pap test show CIN1 and the biopsy show normal?

I have been experiencing increasing stomach distension that doesn't go down, feeling full, and not returning to normal. I have no periods, only spotting, and have been constipated on and off. My symptoms have worsened over the last 6 weeks, and my last normal period was about a year ago. I had my last pelvic exam/papsmear 2 years ago. My grandmother had breast cancer, and my mom had bladder cancer, who smoked for twenty years. I don't smoke. I feel my stomach is like when I was pregnant, and I'm concerned about ovarian cancer but don't want to overreact. What could be causing these symptoms?
