I think I would be even less concerned since you state how large the "circle" of calcifications but PLEASE don't apolobize for being anxious about these findings. I also think even more that a biopsy would be of little value with such widespread findings; when calcifications are indicating a problem they are tightly grouped. You should keep in mind also that even grouped calcifications DO NOT necessarily indicate a malignancy. Regarding the nipple discharge .... can be an indication of a milk duct issue OR nothing at all. Breast discharge can be almost any color and consistancy and often just a normal occurence. Regards .....
Sorry, forgot to add I also have been having green discharge from the same breast. Not sure if that is related. thxs.
Thank you so much for your speedy comment. May I ask you to comment on why they are located in a circle, a little spread out and like they are surrounding something.It was weird looking, almost a perfect circle (about the size of a female palm) of 5 white dots. I hae read about linear, diffused and some other patterns, but mine didn't seem to fit anywhere. My niece in TX had only 2 microcalcifications and they did a speedy biopsy. I know I am anxious, and I apologize, I also have anxiety and depression and this is not helping either. lol. I REALLY appreciate your advice and you certainly sound as if you know what you are talking about. I will definately take your advice to my next doctor's appt.
If you have concerns, and it's obvious to me that you do, I would suggest that you have your films read by another Radiologist; a type of second opinion on the "next step" if you will. If the second Radiologist agrees with the first then I would wait and have the re-check in 6 months or you might express your concerns due to your family history and request another film in 3 months. As far as the biopsy ..... you could see a Breast Specialist (Surgeon) and have him/her review your films for a possible biopsy. It could be that the area isn't really amenable to biopsy at this point. I certainly understand your desire to be aggressive but either 3 or even 6 months wouldn't make any difference in the end result IF this is an indication of something related to a malignancy. Regards ....
