scattered microcalcifications

[nervous7]

I'm 43 and have had regular mammograms for the past 3 years.  I have always had normal (BIRAD1) results.  This year, my results say that I am a BIRAD2 and have scattered microcalcifications in one breast.  The only recommendation is to come back in 1 year for regular mammogram.  I have no reason not to trust the facility, but am a little bit nervous regardless.  Any advice would be welcome.

God Bless........bad things do happen for a good reason.......Implants tend to cause calcifications, so I am told.  I do not have them, but since getting diagnosed with them, I've learned alot in a few  weeks...I'm glad all turned out well for you and great advise, mammo's save lives.......cant' tell you how many ladies are going whom where afraid until they heard my story...and yes agree god is gracious........he brings you to it, he will bring you through it.

I have a question about feeling after a core biopsy. It was done the first week in october and the area was retroareolar. I feel pretty good soreness and pain gone except for pain in the nipple which started about a week ago. I feel it when touched, even when taking a shower I sheild it from the stream of water. I had a follow up mammogram done yesterday and they said everything looked good and my breast doctor would get in touch with me with the results. I was wondering why the irritation now? It started a few days before this follow up mammogram and now it is worse since. I am actually thinking of calling the doctor on monday. Anyone have similar problem? let me know

I would talk to the doctor but it is normal to feel sensations for many weeks after a biopsy.

I can see where each mammogram would still be stressful. But, the frequent monitoring should catch things early if anything does show up. I love my 1st graders (most of the time) and wouldn't trade for high school. Although NCLB has made my job much more stressful, I still have a LOT of fun with my little ones.

I am so glad that everyone is getting such wonderful news!  My mammo is scheduled for November 14.  Please continue to keep me in your prayers!  I am very nervous!
