Hi Milstar;
I have exactly the same thing based on your description. I had a sterotactic core biopsy (in radiology) that revealed atypical ductal hyperplasia. This, according to the radiologist is a high risk marker for cancer, however it is not cancer yet. I have been referred for surgery to remove the suspicious tissue. I have appointment w/ surgeon in 2 weeks with surgery to be scheduled. However, I suspect. my risk would be considered higher than yours since my mother was diagnosed at 43 w/breast cancer.
Hope your biopsey went well. Letus know how you are doing.
Best to you.
Dear milstar: Without evaluation, it is impossible to speculate on whether this is cancer or not. Microcalcifications that are clustered raise suspicion that there may a growth nearby. The only way to know what this might be is biopsy.
Hi Milstar
just wondering how your surgery went. I am scheduled for a similar procedure in about a month and am beginning to get nervous myself. I have been so busy that I haven't had a lot of time to think about it but when I'm alone I start to wonder. I'm really nervous about the incision and the amount of tissue being removed. The surgeon did tell me that it would be noticeable. Anyways, I hope everything went well for you.
Take care
