Hi
I'm 2 years after treatment for breast cancer, involving breast reduction in that breast and implant in the other. Microcalcifications just found on yearly mammogram, so a little fed up and concerned about this. Plan is to biopsy in a few days. Anyone else experienced this ? Finding it difficult to cope with the thought of yet more treatment, after carefully doing all the right things inc hormone therapy and radiotherapy. Seems to me to be 50/50 whether benign or not.
Hi,
I've had calcifications found on a mammogram on two seperate occasions now. I had to go through a biopsy for each of them but both were benign. Try to stay as positive as possible until you have the results of the biopsy. Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes

Thank you JigJog for your very kind words. Your positivity certainly helps.
I am new to this group diagnosed with microcalcifcations size 12cm and duct carcinoma in situ. Did all the right things checks and just in shock that I have been advised to have masectomy with reconstruction.
Plastic surgeon says I'm not fit for reconstruction due to high bmi and diabetes so will have to lose weight and go on waiting list. However they have offered reduction just worried in case it comes back.
Both OK but did get haematoma so implant had to be done twice. I had cancer in both breasts.
Hi I got that in my right breast I was all clear after biopsy but they left markers in my breast so they know when I have my next mammogram that is where the biopsy was done , Mine was found when they found the cancer in my left breast which I have now had a mastectomy and starting treatment on Friday. The trouble is we have to live with cancer even after all treatment is done.
take care x

Heartfelt good wishes for Friday and onwards in that long haul.
