I can get a medical school student to look at it and offer a possible explanation.
However, as he will recommend, you should go into a surgery/hospital and ask about it in person.
He/She will be able to offer you a more accurate and reliable analysis, especially as trained professionals in that area.

Good luck. Hope all ends up well.

hope all goes well, merry christmas.

xmas bump for exposure.

A medical student would be ok too.

I have a long wait to see a vascular specialist for this question, so I figured maybe the smart people around here could help while I wait for my appointment.

Thanks for the support.

or even both.

You'd probably get more input too, since there's a bounty.

I've just spoken to him.
He didn't look at them, but he did say that it's best you speak to your specialist.
Try to find a cancellation appointment.
He said, that only a specialist can give you a true answer. You don't want someone telling you something wrong which can only lead on to problems down the line.
I know how you feel. I myself have waited for biopsy results, and the feeling isn't good.
However, he did say that if it was urgent, arrangements would have been made to get an appointment in very soon after the scan.
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.
I really do hope all goes well.
Have a merry christmas and a happy and healthy new year :)
