Calcification biopsy

Hi

 

New here and nervous about posting. Just had a biopsy today after they found a build of calcium in my right breast. My mum has survived breast cancer and im so worried now waiting for these results. My appt is in 4 weeks! 

 

Everyone saying to me dont worry you'll be fine but i have this feeling its not. Im scared and trying to be strong so my son doesnt notice. Dont want to tell him till i have a definate answer.

 

Thanks for reading, if anyone does! Xx

    I know you will feel terribly worried about your calcifications.  The wait for biopsy results is very difficult, especially if you have children.  The only thing that will help is to try to distract yourself and stay busy.  Take things a day at a time.
     

    Calcifications are very often benign and whilst we tend to think the worst, we really shouldn't as you will only know the outcome on results day.  Stay positive and take someone with you.  There is no point being in a hole of anxiety in the here and now.  Difficult I know and you will have bad days.

    Having gone through this myself I can say that the uncertainty of not knowing is the worst time but there is every chance your calcifications will be benign so try not to overthink too much for now. 
     

    My calcifications weren't benign but low grade DCIS with a very small 1mm invasive.  So it's been found very early and will be sorted.  You will feel better once you know what you are dealing with, or you may be dealing with nothing at all hopefully, so do stay positive.  It's terribly hard to keep things in perspective when going through this but do try if you can.  
     

    Wising  you all the best for some good news soon.  Take care.
