Hi I recently had a stereotactic biopsy (still awaiting results.) The reason for this was following a routine mammogram. Something suspicious was found. Went to recall appointment and it is a cluster of random dots ,micro calcifications . Like a tiny star constellation.
I’d never heard about them before.
I’m just wondering how many other people have had or have the same thing ?
what was the diagnosis and treatment plans etc? Sorry lots of questions . I have adhd so please be patient if I’m a bit abrupt . I’m finding the waiting almost to my ch to bear . It’s been a week already and still have till Thursday to find out.
My mum had an aggressive form of invasive duct carcinoma cancer when she was the same age I am now . 55.
what did your calcification s look like please ? Thankyou in advance . I hope your all feeling happy and well . .
Hi Rah Rah and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your ongoing diagnoses.
Navigating the diagnostic journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked the ‘exact same' cancer journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).
