Breast calcifications / Core Biopsy

Offline Londonflorist over 4 years ago

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

I can't remember if it was my first or second mammogram that I had the same experience - referred to the breast clinic for further scans, ultrasound and biopsies with a pin being inserted. I was told a cluster of micro calcifications. I got a phone call before results day appointment saying 'benign' and that I was back on the standard routine mammogram schedule. I've had at least one mammogram since - referred again and worried thinking it was the same area but turned out to be a cyst and no change in area where the pin was inserted. I hope you get the same outcome
