Microcalcifications

Angie2U said:

hi
Hi Terri. Please don't get yourself upset until you know your results. I know, that is easy to say, but, please try. I don't know myself what the percentage is. What I will say is if you don't hear from your oncologist's office by at the latest, tomorrow afternoon, you should call and see if the results are in. It seems that a lot of the times, they don't call you right away like they should. Good luck!

Hi Teri,
Of course you're worried. We always are and it's the longest, scariest wait in the world. I hope your doc will call you as soon as he gets the results...mine does, I'm lucky. I have been thru 2 incisional microcalcifications biopsys and both were benign. They were both sitting in the middle of fibrodendem (not sure of spelling) tumors which are always begnin. The info online is very confusing because of the conflicting info. It just makes us worry and scares us to death. I'm so sorry you're having to go thru this and I hope your results are clear. Please keep us posted. I'll be thinking of you and praying for the good outcome.

Hugs, Judy :-)

Hi Teri
I agree with Angie. You don't know, yet. Breathe deep. And just deal with today. I know how hard it is. The waiting is the absolute worst part. IF there is something wrong, generally the microcalcifications mean they've caught it at the very earliest stages. Do call the onocologist, you have every right to know.

blessings,

bad news
I received "the call" from my dr and she said "it doesn't look good". The pathology report shows cancer insitu (sp?). She just delivered the bad news and said I will get back with you for dr referrals.I have a lot of questions but she said that she wasn't an oncologist to answer them soooo I guess I have to wait once again to see what I am up against.

Alone?
Terri,

I'm sorry about the news you got. It seems we all spend almost as much time waiting as anything else. The one thing I noticed, though, is that you mentioned about not having a lot of family support and that you felt alone. Just check out the people who answered you!! You're NOT alone.

Keep the faith,
Leanne

you're not alone
My dear Terri,
Where ever you are, you may be sitting in front of your computer alone, but in spirit you have many 'sisters in pink' holding your hand. We have been on this path and have felt the emotions you are feeling, and, guess what? We made it through it! And you will too. I hope you can feel our support to infuse you with courage and our warm hugs to allay your fears.

No one wants to come to this site and become part of this sisterhood. I wish you had no reason to be here. But since you are, let me tell you... your cancer has been caught early if it's 'in situ', and it's VERY treatable, and you will survive! I got the bad news on June 16 of this past summer. I had surgery (lumpectomy), took a month's vacation, then started 5 days of radiation (accelerated partial breast irradiation). Ta da. I'm done.

You will be learning a lot of new terms that seem to be specific to breast cancer. I hope you can bet some books on breast cancer. Almost any title will do. Look for the DCIS chapters. Books are a lot more straight forward than the internet.

This is a great place to ask questions, vent your frustrations, tell your story, etc. I will be watching for your future posts to know how you are doing. {{{{ big hugs }}}}}
