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.

Had mamogram Sept. 7, dr. called back and more mamograms were done yesterday. Said that they found about 15-17 spots in the left breast at the bottom. Had a breast reduction done about 10 yrs. ago, could it just be scare tissue. Tues. they are doing the bio. with the needle. Any advise or comments
Thanks,
alittle worried

One more thing...everytime I've been told I'd get results in 2-3 days and then they surprised me with results the next day. Maybe you'll have the same experience! (Waiting is a bummer!)

I've had 3 needle biopsies. They numb the area, so you should only feel some pressure when they biopsy the area. You have an 85% chance of this being benign. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Had another Diagnostic test done on Sept 9 and it confirmed the findings of Cluster of Calification is noted in the 2 o'clock position Recommendation is needle biopsy which I'm scheduled in one week from now.  Can anyone tell me is it painful? And how soon can they tell me if it's cancerous, I asked that question they said it's sent to the lab and in a few days they will get the results back, but what's a few days? What are the chances it might be cancer.

I tried to post on the thread that I first posted on , however it was closed to new comments.  I got the results of my biopsy and everything was fine.  I will have mammograms every six months and see the surgeon again in one year.  I would like to thank everyone for there thoughts and prayers.  I wish everyone well.
