Calcification

Hi all, still worried. Any similar stories out there? 

So I found a lump and been having pain, saw GP, referred within the 2 weeks, went to clinic and consultant said prob cyst. Had a mamogram and ultra sound and confirmed that lump is cysts but they then told me that they had seen some very fine calcification spots and because more than 5 in a cluster they would need to biosy.. Vaccume biopsy under mammogram. So had that done the day after and then ended up having an adrenal crisis.. I have adrenal insufficiency so am Steroid dependant and the stress on the body was too much I think. Anyway they wanted me in for results on 19th but I'm away so have to wait until I'm back on 25th. Appointment is 26th. Very worried....I've read that small clusters of fine flecks are usually suspicious but also read that cysts can cause calcification... Mind all over the place. One minute I'm positive it will just be the cysts and the next I feel certain it's early stages. Any advice or stories similar would be great to hear.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're waiting on results from a breast biopsy. It's understandable that your body reacted as it did given the stress of attending the appointment and then needing to have a biopsy. I hope that you're recovered from the crisis. 

    It's not uncommon for calcifications to be picked up on mammogram and these can be caused by lots of reasons including being a normal part of the ageing process. 

    It good to know that the lump you initially found is not a cause for concern and hopefully your results on the 26th will bring some more reassurance. 
    I hope that you're able to keep your mind busy and enjoy your break away. Do let u sknow how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
