Hi Rosey,

I am in the same position. I went to breast clinic yesterday following a referral from my GP. Initially the practitioner said she felt there was nothing to worry about as the lump I could feel was not concerning. She even gave me a fast track discharge letter. She still requested a mammogram and US though. 1st mammogram I had 2 images of each boob then 15 mins later I was called back in.... I thought for the ultrasound however was back in the mammogram room with 2 radiographers having magnified images taken on just 1 boob. I knew there was something wrong. Anyway had the US and the radiographer said there was some calcification but the consultant would review the images. I was literally one of the last to be seen and was told there are clusters of calcification in 2 areas of my breast, completely unrelated to the lump....which is of no concern. The calcification spread is 8cm and she has said it is highly likely it is cancer. I need a vaccum biopsy and am waiting for them to call me to make that appointment......I wish they would ring. I am in disbelief because I just did nit expect this. Xxx I've edited this as when i read it back it sounds very negative. Not all calcification is cancer and hopefully we will both walk away from this qith a good result. Keep your chin up. I'm still waiting for this appointment and patience is not a virtue of mine hahaha xxx
