Found 6 separate microcalcifications
by Sunshine1214, Jun 23, 2008 09:48AM
I just found out that I have 6 separate microcalcifications in my right breast. I have a call into my gyno doctor with a ton of questions. I am very anxious as this is all I know about it. The radiologist said to follow up in 6 months. I don't really want to wait that long as breast cancer is in my family. Is it a good idea to wait 6 months? I don't think I would have been overly concerned with 1 cluster, but 6???

You stated 6 microcalcifications but not clusters. Was a BIRAD score stated on the report ?? Trust me, if you had 6 clusters of microcalcifications you would have been referred to a surgeon for biopsy immediately. Microcalcifications do occur normally in breast tissue and are a cause for concern only when they are seen in certain groups or clusters. A 6 month follow-up seems quite reasonable from what you stated.
