Morning JulieM, 

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to find you here, but totally get how you are feeling. In short I found a lump and went to get that checked out and to my surprise they also found clusters of microcalcifications, but wouldn't say much. Like you, I had to have those 'god awful' stereotactic biopsies and got a frozen shoulder in the process, lol. By that stage, I already knew that my lump was cancerous, but I didn't really know what difference the microcalcifications would make. 
 

Im told that calcifications can be mostly benign and I hope that is the case for you. Mine turned out to be two separate graded areas of dcis, which is early cancer, but with the tumour as well it covered most of my breast.  It is highly treatable and I've come to terms with my diagnosis with support from this forum. 
 

Thursday will be here soon, I hope you have a positive outcome. I just wanted to reply to you as I know there's not a lot of information of calcifications and I wanted you to know that you are not alone. I'm sorry to hear about your Mum also. 
 

Please keep us posted and here if you want to chat further. 
Mickey  x 

Thank you so much for your reply MickeyM, I really need to stop obsessing and get busy, yesterday I just literally didn't do anything other than think all the worst things but today I'm going to keep my mind off it. Only two days to go thank goodness.

So sorry to read yours was not clear, must have been so upsetting when they told you,  but it's so good to read how so much is treatable and that the support on here is so lovely. 
 

I will keep you posted.

Sending you lots of love and my thoughts xxx

Hi JulieM, keeping busy and distracting yourself with things you enjoy are really good tactics. Advent tomorrow and then Thursday and so it will soon be here. Thinking Christmas decorations and other nice things. 
 

To be honest, I knew deep down, but it's always a shock still. Treatable and so that's the important thing - thank you for your kind words too. Support is great. 
 

Sending love and positivity back - here if you need to chat against before Thursday. Mickey xx ️

Thinking of you today JulieM and sending love and virtual hugs xx Mickey ️

Ahhhhhhh thank you so much!!! My tummy is doing crazy somersaults!!! I'll let you know how it goes, sending loads of love and hugs back ️ ️ ️

Bless you, I know that feeling for sure.  Interesting I've just had an ultrasound on my 'frozen shoulder' and I've been told that is caused by calcifications in my tendons - hmmmmmm wondering if there a link, very strange I have calcifications in my breast and arm/shoulder.... no comment made when I expressed that though !!! Wait will soon be over!   xx 

That's strange, I have no idea about these calcifications other than it's nothing to do with our calcium intake but they can be a result of injury, tissue changes or age related. 
A frozen shoulder sounds so uncomfortable, will they give you treatment?

I'm on my way on a mo, feel is like I'm heading for an exam! That sickening feeling. Hopefully I will report back with good news. 
 

Catch you again soon xx ️

Good luck, the wait will be over  - I have an apt on 6th Jan, so I guess they will tell me the plan then xx ️ ️

Hello! Just to let you know I had good news. The biopsies showed nothing to be concerned about so they discharged me with no follow up. Huge relief. Thank you so much for yoir support and kind words! Thinking of you and hope you are ok xxxx

Hi JulieM, that's fantastic news, did they say what it was (just being nosey)? Thank you so much for letting me know. It's always great to hear good news, especially now in the lead up to Christmas - you can get on with your celebrations with peace of mind. Love n hugs Mickey xx ️
