Hey all
Sat overthinking everything but have been seeking comfort in posts on here.
End of November I felt a lump in my left breast, wasn't there before so contacted my doctor.
having very little information on my older half siblings (second marriage child) the information I have isnt great but I know my older sister died having breast cancer , other sister recovered from breast cancer as did my mum , who had early stage cancer but recovered my family history isn't great.
Doctor referred me to the breast clinic & I had an appointment within 4 weeks.
At the appointment they said the lump was nothing to worry about however I have a lot of calcifications ...I'm sure they mentioned micro calcifications.....scattered over both breasts.
The Consultant told me she wanted to discuss my mammograms in a meeting because of my family history of breast cancer & if need be I would be called in for biopsy.
A day passes phone rings & I am asked to go in for a biopsy.
The day of the biopsy they mention the reason I am having it was due to a small cluster in my right breast , I wasn't told that or was aware of that & didn't know it was even my right breast that was the problem...maybe my fault for not questioning more the day I initially went to the clinic.
appointment was made for my results on the 10th December, however the night before my appointment the Dr rings & says not to attend as they need to do a second biopsy to get more of the calcifications, again Dr repeated about the family history reason being a concern however the breast tissue they did have was fine.
I now had second biopsy & go Thursday for my results .
sorry for the long winded story I'm just so confused as if the tissue is fine then why have to have a second biopsy?
Has anyone had a similar experiences?
