2 masses and calcificatio

I went in yesterday for a routine mammo.  My mammos are often not "normal".  The radiologists sometimes find suspicious masses (that after an ultrasound and biopsy are found to be benign)  This time was no different.  After the first regular mammo, the doctor and radiologist asked for a magnified mammo and an ultrasound.  It seems that I have two new "masses' and calcification in my right breast.  They did a needle biopsy on the two masses, but I have to go in for a stereotactic breast biopsy in two weeks.  I am really, really worried.  Does the fact that I have two new masses with the calcification make my chances of having breast cancer higher?  

I am 44 with no history of breast cancer.

Any answers would be welcome because I am really worried.

I don't know that the fact that you have two new masses would mean cancer any more than any of the other findings have. Calcifications are an indication that the breast tissue is reacting to some abnormality and this doesn't always mean cancer either. Needle biopsies obtain such a very small amount of tissue the very often another type of biopsy is needed to determine the exact cause of the abnormality. Any new finding should be investigated to a definite conclusion and I'm sure the Stereotactic Bx will provide the answer.    Regards .....

I wanted to let you know that I have gotten the results of my biopsies.  The stereotactic came back as ADH.  I will now have to go in for a excision biopsy to remove the surrounding tissue.  My doctor told me it is not cancer, but I have read that it is possible that once they remove more tissue, the ADH could be masking cancerous tissue.  Do you know if this is true?
