a, because 2 months ago the patient had a mammogram that is suspicious for breast cancer and the physician could have done further investigation like fna biopsy to confirm the diagnosis before telling the patient that the findings are normal. correct me if i'm wrong

i think she told her she was normal after conducting mammograph (for the suspicion, not the confirmation)
