After my birad 4 biopsies for calcifications they always had me come back in 6 months for a mammo even tho they said they felt very sure everything was fine. I also have very dense tissue and many lumps and calcifications which they feel are benign but they still insist I come in every 6 months. I think you're off the hook for now, but I'd check with them on getting another mammo in 6 months so they can watch things.
Read your other post. Let me get through this afternoon and I will post you later. I am a basket case of course. Can't quit crying again even though this may be nothing it is mentally damaging. Please go to breastcancer.org also. Lots of helpful info there and the ladies on the discussion boards are great also. Just don't forget about us here (come back). Thank for the beautiful scripts and prayers.
I am not a doctor but sound like a positive report. I would always get a second opinion which most insurance companies pay for.
Thank you for responding. I am not sure what to do. If my Grandmother lost her breast from BC(am still reasearching details about her BC history) does my results from biopsy still mean "nothing to worry about ever?".
With all of this activity in cells noted in recent biopsy(mammo 3 years ago was negative but dense) but now new mammo reads dense-clusters of microcalcifications=BIRADS CAT 4 SUSPICIOUS FOR MALIGNANCY am I still off the hook?? There is no "lump" but I have always been lumpyish...
I haven't been told to have more mammos in 6 mos. or even 1 year. I was just told by my obgyn's nurse that the biopsy was benign.(which I am very thankful for)
I know you're not a doc but would still value your opinion. I have read many posts and you are so helpful.
Thank you for caring, I wish you well!!!!
Dear sisterfriend: Based on the information you have provided, you describe benign (non-cancerous) biopsy results. None of the information mentioned suggests that you are at higher risk of developing breast cancer , however, the biopsy findings should always be interpreted in the context of the mammographic and physical examination findings. You should discuss this with your physician.
