MicroCalcificati with Clusters---UPDATE

[Sai387]

Hi, As I mentioned it earlier that my sister has “Micro Calcification” with Clusters in her right breast turned out be the Cancer and it is speeded all over the breast (9CM). They said it’s DUCTOL” and “Mastectomy” has to be done ASAP and then they will send it to the pathology test for the further evaluation. Can anyone please tell me what’s going on to her and the life span because she is just 36years old and the mother of 6years and 2 1/2 years old kids.

My sister had this 10 years ago. She had a mastx and she is considered cancer free now.

Hopefully, she will get the treatment and do the same...

Best regards to you and your sister. She's lucky she has you.(((prayers going out for you both.))))

Hi,

You mean - ductal carcinoma in-situ? You could read about it at the following link -

Let us know if you have any further doubts or queries.

Has she had any abnormal features on breast self examination like a breast lump, nipple discharge or skin changes , etc?

Microcalcifications are tiny deposits in the breast tissue.

The prognosis in cases is generally good , especially after appropraite treatment and regular follow ups with the breast specialist are advised. The exact life-span cannot be predicted.

Let us know if you have any other doubts and post us about how she is doing.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
