Hi Hopefloats,

Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear aboutyour call back. The radiologists can usually pick out a cyst but cannot conclude that all is ok until your biopsy results come back.. I haven't had cysts. Unfortunately, I've had three suspect bouts of breast cancer with microcalcification. My consultant was pretty certain that all three would turn out to be cancerous, but fortunately one was benign. The other two were cancerous. Still, my team did a wonderful job and I am still here 11 years from diagnosis.

I know that the waiting is a scary time, but try to keep yourself busy to help pass the time. You will feel better once you get a diagnosis either way. It's the fear of the unknown that is so worrying just now.

Please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Here's hping for good results.

Kind regards,

Thanks so much for your reply. I get the impression that clusters of microcalcifications are just not a good thing, but really nice to know one of yours was benign, shows it can be good news.

is it fair to say that clusters are usually bad news? I want to prepare myself! Also were there questions you would recommend I ask? I was thinking of starting a list but not sure where to start!! 

you are right, the worrying is exhausting and also a bit pointless. I am trying not to think about it but work feels a bit ridiculous! The kids are good as they just chirp on with their stuff which is really nice.

a week is such a long time to wait...! 
thanks again, it's good to talk to someone who knows how it feels. 

I've been for my recall today I have calcifications in a 10mm cluster and a totally separate lump which I didnt know was there.  Had an enhanced mammogram followed by ultrasound and I asked the Dr to be brutally honest with me and she said yes she thinks the calcifications are malignant but not sure about the lump.  She did biopsy of the lump and then I had image guided biopsy of calcifications using the mammogram.  Due to go back on 2nd November.  I'm not too worried as my mum and aunt are both breast cancer survivors and I know a lot of people who have been through it so that's quite positive but there is always that little niggle at the back of my mind that I may not be so lucky.  Can't really help with your query but just wanted you to know your not alone and I'm interested to see if anyone suggests questions to ask as my mind just went blank today.  Good luck xx

Hi both, thanks for replying to me. 
I wanted to give some positive news. I got my results and it was benign. I was so relieved and will support breast cancer research even more than I did before.

Sending all my positive thoughts to you kegzowy, I hope you get the same news as me!

take care!
