Hi, I have family history and Adh so I am on a 6 mos mri/mammo schedule. I had my mammo yesterday and lo and behold a new set of clustered calcs were found. I am scheduled for a stereo. biopsy on friday. I am beside myself... I just went through this less than a year ago.

I had a "clean" mri 6 mos ago. I don't get it. I know mri's can't pick up calcs but wouldn't it see DCIS?

Not sure what the bi-rads is of the calcs. Must be 4. I am scared and just tired. My mom had bc and she is getting brca tested next week.

sigh.

I have a strong family history, and have had 4 B9 biopsies in the past year alone. I had an MRI in July which didn't show anything in my left breast. I then had my mammo in Aug., and it showed a cluster of microcalcs (birads 4). I had a stereotactic biopsy in Sept. that came back B9 - fibroadenoma and ductal hyperplasia. So don't panic too much. My mom also had BC (she died from it at 57), and I am getting brca tested tomorrow.
