Calcification on 1st mammogram

I'm very confused about my first mammogram I was referred to the clinic with a lump, which turned out to be a cyst 

they told me I had calcification that looked benign but called me back in six weeks 

I thought if the calcification is benign then they don't follow up.  I'm 45 so never had a mammogram.

  • Hi!

    I am in a similar situation. With me I was referred to breast clinic for nipple discharge. Had a mammogram and found calcifications. They said wanted to see me again in 8 weeks which was actually 6 and was then sent an appointment for a stereotactic biopsy which I had on Monday.

    I think they probably check calcifications again to rule out anything nasty but if you were told benign they are likely just being thorough.

    I know it's very hard not to stress out and worry. I really hope you have good news when you go for your follow up.

    I'm 43 and it was my first mammogram too

  • Hi, 

    thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your help and reassurance. 
    Did they say yours was benign? When do you get your results? 
    the waiting is so tough. X

  • They didn't say either way in my case but everyone is different. I have an appointment relating to the discharge on Monday and they said they will try to get results in time for that but couldn't guarantee it!

    Waiting is the worst!

    Trying to stay positive!

    Do you have a date for your next appointment? X
