Sterotatic biopsy and after...

by MA_karyn, 20 hours ago
I had a sterotatic core biopsy today - on microcalcifications that are in a cluster and have spiculated edges. The radiologist who read my mamms every year was so worried when he saw, he was on me to see a surgeon for a biopsy asap. I would imagine that he sees alot - and knows susoicious looking formations.

I am wondering - if this turns out to be malignant and in the nodes - where is it most likely to be "next"? I have a bunch of soft lumps on the trunk of my body - that I had chalked up to adipose tissue. I recently lost 35 bs. - and I noticed them then. The weight loss was 9 months - and unintentional for the most part.

Now, I am divorced, alone and scared to death. And I am trying to anticipate what might be next? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks - Karyn :D

I think first I must tell you that you are jumping way ahead of yourself. Biopsies on Microcalcifications without any other symptoms (breast lumps, etc.) which would have been evident on Mammogram IF positive for cancer cells would be at a very early stage of development. I can see no relation between the breast calcifications and the trunk lumps that you describe. They were most likely there all along but due to the weight loss they are now more noticible. I wouldn't even venture a guess as to what's next  until your biopsy results are reported. What's next may be "nothing" so try not to get too stressed out at this point.     Regards .....
