Cluster of Microcalifications

[rsolis]

A year ago I had two benign cyst removed from my breast, recently I had a Mammogram done and what was found were Cluster of Microcalifications which require further testing, Breast Cancer runs in my family, my sister passed away at age 42, I'm 44 and very scared that I might have cancer as well.  I have been reading and finding out that clusters might be considered cancerous which frightens me very much. Is there some type of foods I should be eating or can I do anything on my part to help!

Also it states my Birad Catergory is 0 due to unable to compare, I don't know what that means?  Please let me know.  thank you.

sassysab and serene 1 Let us know if you have more questions or just need to vent. It's also good to hear your results. When those "benign" results are posted it helps the others have hope that their biopsy will also turn out benign.

First a thank you for having this site available.  I stumbled upon it in search for info. about microcalc.  I had a stereotactic biopsy done Monday 9/25 and am about to go crazy waiting for results.  Today is Thurs. - I have called in again and left a message.  The info. I have gotten from this site has helped so much.  I had no idea there were so many of us out there w/this problem.  Just wanted to say thanks...and hoped by writing, it would release some anxiety!

Wow! I had lots of questions and reading your posts all of them have been answered. I have had 3 Momo's (magnifications and something to do with "vascular"???) but the final outcome is a rating of 4 and a trip to the specialist to schedule a reccommended biopsy. I had a lump removed over 10 years ago from the same breast, a mother who is a breast cancer survivor (20 years) and I had Stage II ovarian cancer (all is still good now) 4 years ago. I am no stranger to all of this but there is so much I DO NOT know and being able to contact others who are goig through or have gone through the same thing in invaluable. I didn't even know what the ratings meant. Any way thanks to you all you are in my thoughts and I will keep you posted as to results.
