It really all depends on how the radiologist interprets these clustered calcifications.
There are so many different forms and patterns and it's impossible to really tell you how suspicious they are...The spot compression mammogram that you'll have tomorrow,will focus on a particular area of concern and the radiologist will be able to clarify everything for you.
Please let us know how things are proceeding
Take care...

Hi,
Calcifications are quite normal in breast tissue and they are not harmful.Yours not being clustered (grouped) is indeed a very good sign! Only the ones that grow in a cluster are suspicious because they sometimes cluster around a mass.
So you have nothing to worry about and I am really happy that things turned up just fine for you.Just keep your regular checkup as recommended by your doctor.
Again all the best to you...  :)

P.S. Please if you have any additional question or comment,it would be better if you keep it on the same thread.This helps to have all your information together so we can better help you.
Thank you.
