I have just been to my recall from my routine breast screening, i was expecting it to be nothing as i have always had fibrocystic breasts but they told me they found a small area of calcification and now i am waiting for results of a biopsy, im so scared, trying to be positive and telling myself im sure its very early if they find anything but my mind Is doing somersaults.

    Hi Beansbit,

    A very warm welcome to the forum.

    I am sorry to hear that you are so concerned following your recall after routine breast screening. It is always a worrying time when we are waiting for biopsy results. Unfortunately, our overactive imaginations tend to lead us to all sorts of dark places. Not all recalls end in a cancer diagnosis. I was recalled after one of my early routine mammograms and fortunately, nothing untoward was found then.

    If no tumour has been found and there are only some calcifications present, it sounds as if it is still in the early stages. Have you been told when he results should be back- they usually take about 1-2 weeks. I do hope that you hear something soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    Thanks for this Jolamine, they say its a 7mm cluster of calcification, my lymph nodes look normal. Apparently the biopsy took most or all of it out so they placed a bit of wire in. I’m just really scared. I will keep in touch thank you so much for your response xxx
