BIRAD 4 Microcalification
by jwill49, Dec 25, 2008 10:47PM
I am having a biopsy done on my right breast due to having Birad 4 microcalification , my question is I had Uterus Cancer in 1986 and had a total hysterectomy and been taking premarin for 22 years, by taking HRT for so many years does it increase my risk for breast cancer?
Thank You
Debbie

Hi Debbie ... yes, unfortunately it has been proven that HRT does indeed increase one's risk for developing breast cancer. Certainly you are not alone as HRT was administered quite freely in the past. This doesn't necessarily mean that your biopsy will result in a finding of cancer. Microcalcifications indicate that the breast tissue is responding to something within the breast that isn't normal; NOT always cancer though. If HRT is prescribed today it is recommended to be a the lowest dose possible and for a very short time. Keep us posted and return with any concern you have regarding your biopsy or results. Regards ....
