Microcalcifications and bloody discharge

[glzgowlass]

I know microcalcifications are most often benign and a bloody nipple discharge is usually benign also, but I am wondering if the same is true when you have both of them together?

I had a magnified mammogram due to changes in existing microcalcifications that were spotted last year.  I have them in a new area of my breast.  While they were doing the imaging, the discharge came out quite profusely.  It was a reddy brown color.

They are recommending I see a surgeon asap for the biopsy because of the discharge.  I am getting ready to move out the area so I need to wait just a few weeks until I get to the new area.  

I am just curious while I wait, if having both these things going on at the same time would increase the odds of a problem.  My family doctor called me the day this happened and I just get the feeling they have a sense of urgency about this.  (The only reason I am waiting is because the specialist I was referred to can't see me to look at the film until 3 days before I leave.)  I'm setting up an apointment in the new area which will only add a few days delay.

Yes, it was weird they didn't want to do the biopsy, they thought it was best I see a breast surgeon becasue of the discharge.  I explained the situation to the surgeon's office but they won't see me before the 9th July and that was just to look and the film to decide what kind of biopsy I need.  I asked how long it would take to do the biopsy after that and they said they didn't know.  I will be in the new area by the 16th.  I spoke to a surgeon's office today in the new area and they don't seem to have delays.  I'm just waiting for my new referral letter from the HMO and I'll make my appointment for that 16th or the 19th at the latest.

It's the whole "ductogram" thing thats giving me the heeby geebies.  ....
