Hi I just wanted to post about my result as anyone reading this is probably absolutely terrified. I went for my 2nd mammogram in April I'm 53 I had the first one which was clear 3 years previous.
I felt quite confident that all was ok,
then 2 weeks later got a letter saying they wanted to do further investigation.
I was still at this stage not too worried as couldn't feel no lumps and was no change to my breasts.
I went to hospital in London where I was told by a nurse I had breast calcifications in right breast she said they were quite common and wanted to do another mammogram and a ultrasound and maybe take a biopsy but that would probably be on another day.
the radiologist was lovely she showed me the calcifications and said they were small and the doctor would explain more. The doctors said they were 3 mm so very small but wanted to do an ultrasound and then a biopsy the scan was clear did show some cysts.
I had the stereoscopic core biopsy then was sent home and given an appointment for a weeks time.
the first few days I was positive as they said was very common but then I did what we all do I started searching the internet and oh my goodness everything was not positive all I was seeing was positive results from biopsies I went into panic mode big time...
then the day before my appointment I received a call from the breast clinic to say I didn't need to come in tomorrow as my results were all clear and no further tests needed.
I know I am one of the lucky ones but I felt I had to post my experience as it's not always bad news.
I hope anyone reading this gets some comfort and I truly wish anyone going through anything like this the best of luck xx
