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.

The radiologist said that he will defer to my surgeon, if he feels that it is okay to wait for six months, the radiologist said it is okay with him too. As much as I felt that I was going to ne okay yesterday, there was still that nagging fear, that something was missed in the biopsy and I would be back at square one. It is a bit like Russian Roulette isn't it? But I am focusing on the positive and am thankful that "so far so good!"
PS you asked me what I teach...history to 100 high school students! Want to trade?

I'm so glad your mammo was normal. Are you on a 3 month mammo checkup schedule?

Yes, I'll pray your follow-up mammo is normal too.

Dear Montana girl-Today is your biopsy, right? I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Please let us know how you make out. Ziggy

Nope. I've had 3 biopsies for fibriadenomas that were all benign. The mammo, ultra sound, MRI, and biopsies took 3 months to complete. Oye!

Glad to hear your great news. I had a good day as well..my follow-up mammogram was absolutely clear. I can breathe easier until the next mammogram comes around.
