Your doctor is telling you that the abdominal portion of your aorta is very easily detectable by touch, which means it is more obvious than normal. The aorta is a major artery of the body supplying blood to many principal organs.

What does a diagnostic mammogram with a possible us mean?

A diagnostic mammogram is an imaging study (X-ray) that is used to visualize the breast. It is used either as a screening test or to rule mass lesions. Oftentimes, it is ordered in conjunction with an ultrasound. The ultrasound is another imaging study to differentiate the nature of the mass. For instance, if the mammogram showed a mass in the right upper quadrant of the left breast then it should be followed by an ultrasound to differentiate a solid mass from a simple cyst.
