Is it okay to have breast reduction after having an abnormal mammogram?

vtclaiborne
I was recently approved for breast reduction surgery, I have undergone a few preoperative test, including blood tests and a mammogram, my mammogram came back abnormal on my right breast, I was asked to come back in for a ultrasound, and a benign noncancerous nodule was found, is it okay to proceed with the surgery or should I cancel it all together?
