Hi Everyone,
I'm just hoping for some advice and thoughts. I had a mammogram recall and attended the breast clinic yesterday for follow up. I've had a number of cysts over the years and several visits before and I naively expected this to be another cyst. I did actually find out yesterday I had a large cyst which was drained but also a new area of micro-calcifications which is the problem. I've not been told for definite this is likely to be sinister but they have already made a follow up appointment for the 9th February and asked explicitly if someone would be coming with me! I had a stereo-tactic core biopsy done yesterday with a marker placed but not sure if that is standard ? The consultant radiologist was very nice but quite matter of fact and she did say that she felt this could be an early stage cancer DCIS. I guess what I'm asking is that does this sound likely to be something, I'm trying to be prepared so that its not too much of a shock!
I've also just recently had surgery for suspected endometrial cancer which has now turned out to be ok and I literally got the news it was fine a couple of days before the mammogram recall so I'm just feeling like I cant catch a break!
thank you all!
Karen
