in Breast Cancer #1

Hi All.  Just had my yearly mammo & ultrasound done last Friday.  The 3d mammo picked up some small precalcifications in my right breast.  I heard the word micro.  This was not there a year ago & the doctor said since it is not that close to the surgical scar, they want to have it biopsied especially with my history.  Doctor also said it looks almost identical to what I had 3 years ago.   I am having a stereotactic biopsy done this coming Thursday (10/16).   They said it could be one of 3 things.

 

1.  Benign (Yes that is what I want to hear)

2.  Pre cancerous cells (NO - don't want to hear this)

3. The beginning stages of breast cancer (NO NO NO - don't want to hear this PERIOD).

 

My history is that I had breast cancer in the left breast back in 2011 (Stage 1) and pre cancer in the right breast.  They did a lumpectormy in the left & an excisional breast biopsy on the right plus took out a lymph node too.  Did 6 weeks of radiation and taking tamoxifen for 5 years.  

Anybody had these lately & had them biopsied?  I see posts from back in 09 & 10 & really would like to see some recent feedback and comments.

 

Thanks

    Praying that #1 is your result.   It's scary just hearing it but try to be positive.   Please update us on the diagnosis

    Hi Lilly,
     
    Thanks.  I will

    Hi Lilly,

     

    Thanks.  I will definitely keep you posted on this.  I saw the micro precalcifications on the mammo & some of them were close together.  They said there were approximately 6 of them.  A little sore right now & have ice on the area.  It takes 3-5 business days for results & unfortunately today when it was done does not count.  I have to sweat it out til say mid week next week.
