Breast calcifications / Core Biopsy

Hi Everyone 

I am new to this and have gone in to panic mode as I search information online 

I am 50 next month and had my first mammogram 2 weeks ago

I was referred within 7 days to a breast clinic for further tests

I had my appointment yesterday and the Dr showed me that I had a cluster of 5 tiny micro calcifications in my left breast

She did an ultrasound and said the lymph glands appeared normal

I then had a core biopsy and titanium pin inserted 

I will get my results in 7 days and I am very worried as everything I read online seems to indicate DCIS

Can anyone tell me if you can get clusters and it be benign ?

Thank you so much

    Hi there. I had the exact same thing today, an unexpected biopsy following discovery of a cluster of microcalcifications in right breast. Have to wait 12 days to see consultant. I’m not sure what the stats are on a cluster of microcalcifications being benign and I don’t know where to find that out!

    Hi 

    thanks for your reply !

    I am in shock as I always thought you needed to find a lump first

    The clinic said they will call me Wednesday to give me results by phone , I'm thinking that they do suspect something as they were asking what my preferred local hospital would be    

    Im keeping everything crossed and glad I don't have to wait too long for results 

    wish you all the best x

    I know! I only went because my cousin wasn’t re entry diagnosed with breast cancer and I thought I should get a mammogram just to be responsible! I am 43. I am going to ring before the 12 days to see if the results are available but if not I will have to wait until my consultant appointment on 4 October. I can’t belive I even had a biopsy. This has all happened so quickly and unexpectedly! Fingers crossed you will have good news  in 7 days. Keep me posted.

    Thank you 

    I will let you know when I get the results

    I would definitely suggest you check for any results before 12 days !

    take care x
