Microcalcifications
by Gerri741, Oct 24, 2007 03:32PM
I had a biopsy last Thursday for microcalcifications in my left breast. Because I have implants and the microcalcifications were determined to be indeterminate, the radiologist suggested a needle localization and an excisional biopsy. I have not heard back yet. I thought I would have heard something by now and am very, very nervous. Does it always take this long. Also, if my results are positive, should I have the implants removed first so I can then have radiation if needed or can I leave the implants in. Also, do you know anything about Mammosite? If so, would I be able to have that with the implants? Thank you.

You could call up your doctor or the lab and ask for the reports. Or you could also , go there and ask for a copy of the reports.
Nothing can be said about the further management plan in your case till the reports come in, and also a discussion with a breast specialist is important.
Let us know about how you are doing and do post us the reports when they come in.
Regards.
