Calcifications

Hi, had a routine mammogram a week last Wednesday got recalled this Wednesday as further information was needed. Wasn't expecting the full works though. They found specs of calcifications in a line coming from another calcification that was on my last routine mammogram. I had scan, and needle biopsy first then like a mammogram but worse and whilst in the machine another biopsy in a different place. I was in total shock and didn't ask any questions they said my results will be 2 to 3 weeks!! Safe to say it's driving me crazy not knowing anything. They did not place a marker when I had my tests done. I am 55. 

  • Hello Sass22,

    I can understand waiting can be tough, but I'm sure you'll get your results soon. There are some helpful tips here that could help the wait pass nicely.

    Best wishes,

  • Many thanks Anastasia I have settled down since last week, still awaiting results. I was in shock after the tests. What will be will be, I am keeping busy and enjoying myself !! So all good  

  • Hi Sass22

    I am in the same position as you.  Had a routine mammogram a month ago after just turning 50. Had a letter back to say further investigation needed,  I wasnt worried as I know I have cysts as I found a lump 10 years ago which was drained. Went for the call back and felt like someone had hit me with a truck when they suddenly took a biopsy under mammogram for calcifications. I have my appointment tomorrow for the results but this last week has been awful for me as my anxiety levels have gone through the roof. When is your appointment for your results?

    Sending you big hugs.

  • Hi [@Jane71]‍ i have no appointment as yet, I was told two to three weeks wait for my results it's been really hard but have kept really busy!! It's two weeks on Wednesday since my biopsies the wait is pure torture!! They didn't put a marker after biopsy for me one of the nurses asked if the other nurse wanted one putting in but she said no, so I don't know what this means either. They did find another lump too under calcifications but said she thought nothing would come back from the biopsy of this! She also offered  me a breast care nurse too but I declined as I was in total shock at the time and thought I had nothing to ask!! Feel different now but I have waited this long and got through it so might as well just wait and see now. Please let me know how you get on Jane. I'll be thinking of you.
