Micro Califications

[Bunny711]

To all the ladies on this post.  I cannot get to it as it is filled.  I wanted to give you my experience.  I too had my 3rd mammogram on 10/24, I am 40 years old. I was told to come back as they found some funny, but not to worry.  (Easy for them to say). Went for the second on  11/01/2006, I knew something was wrong, call it woman's intuition. Turns out its calcium microcalifications.  Never heard of it before this.  Radiologists advised biopsy within a month.  However where mind is located, I cannot do a needle.  Well turns out it took quite a long time for my doctor to call.  I did not wait for him. I found my own surgeon went to them, they advised this is very very common.  Changes are good that they are bengin.  Anyhow, made my surgery appointment for 11/13/2006.  I am telling you this because DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR DOCTORS, they look at it as something not as urgent.  YOu really realize what statistic you are to them and not a human being.  I finally received a call from my doctor's nurse no less, to tell me what surgeon to go to all after I made the appointment by myself.  YOU HAVE TO BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE.  DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR DOCTORS TO TELL YOU WHO TO GO TO.  Its scary, frigthening overwelming, and they don't get it sometimes.  Everyone is in my prayers.  I will hear my results after the biopsy which is scaring me.  Additionally I am getting is all removed.  I would rather do it that way, then have to go back for another should the result me malignant.  I was advised even if it is, it is in such early early early stages, guarantee to be fine with proper treatment.

The more the merrier! I just re read your previous post. You have a lot on your plate. When is your mammo? I lost my father a long time ago and the anniversary of his death was last Sunday. It still feels sad. He just tuned 46. Sorry for your loss. I hope your family brings you a lot of comfort. My son does. "This too, shall pass". BIG ONE! I was thinking about that, too. It all passes. Good and bad. I have to keep that in mind. I'm grateful I have a God in my life. I didn't always. Spent years searching. Glad  you wrote! Crummy circumstances, but we need each other to get through this. You're in my prayers.

Hi Everyone:
I am off to meet with the surgeon with my list of questions in tow.  He was a referral from my ob gyn. I don't know if I should go up to Boston for the stereotactic or should have it in Plymouth(much smaller hospital).  Plus it will be several weeks before they can do the procedure. Thank you to everyone for your support.  I was on a different thread, but that has been closed, however I recognize a few of the names from the other microcalcification thread. I wish that we had access to quicker care. It is much too scary with all the delays. Hard to believe as of little more than a week ago I never had even heard of microcalcifications. My prayers are with you all.

You brought tears to my eyes.  Thank you for your story.  I say this too now.  I want to live..I've been walking around for the last year and 1/2 sad at everything, think about holidays and say how can I possibly enjoy them without my "core" in it, my mom, was an angel, and she hasn't been in peace since she lied down one night, healthy so we thought, never to awake, and I can't get over it and they say, they cannot rest until we are at peace with the loss, its very difficult..but this truly is an awakening, I know she is looking down saying you better BE HAPPY.  I am the only girl out of 2 brothers and our bond was priceless, I was very lucky that god gave me a wonderful mother.  I am too 40 now, lost her before my 39th birthday.  I feel for you, for what you must of went through.....2 parents, now look you are happy with a beautiful daughter.  I am divorced, wished I had children but   it didn't work that way, always think about adopting.........Again, thank you for your story, is was priceless.........and I like that statement too.........

Can't wait until this ordeal will hopefully be over..we are lucky you know, to catch this at this age.......it is saving our lives........GOD BLESS
