Post menopausal cluster calcification

[pat269]

I am 68 (almost 69), my mom and aunt both have had breast cancer.  I am scheduled for a stereotactic biopsy in a couple of weeks.  I have read the blog and most comments that reference age are pre-menopausal.  Is there anyone out there in my agae bracket that has had calcium clusters, a stereotactic biopsy, and what was the outcome?

I am 62.  I had calcifications on mam.  Suggested i have another mam in 6 mos.  That one showed more calcs.  Had a stereotactic biopsy.  That showed atypical ductal hyperplasia, (cells in duct(s) that are not normal, but not cancer).  Now I need a surgical biopsy just to allow more tissue to be biopsied and rule out cancer.  My mother died of uterine cancer at 60, so I have no known breast cancer in family, so all the ADH means is that I am at higher risk.  If this second biopsy shows nothing more, I believe that I will continue only to have another mam in 6 mos & go from there.  Hope everything works out well for you.
