I'm not sure if this is the right place to be but here goes...I just finished chemo 2 weeks ago..dose dense ac/taxol. Anyway..I asked the onc to schedule a mammogram for my left breast because it had been a year. I had it last Friday and now I have to go back for a magnification! The radiogist report said that there are a group of 4 round dense microcalcifications in my upper breast. They were seen "faintly" one year ago.
Should be I be freaking! I know I already am!

Titan, I finished Chemo July 26, same than you A/C Taxol. I had a mammo the same week I finished Chemo. In my bad breast were still some microcalcifications.( After 8 rounds of chemo WTF...) I just had a mastectomy this Monday, after I had a lumpectomy in January. I feel much safer, much better. Ok, no more right breast, but I know the monster is gone. Check it out, if you can get surgery right away, dont delay a minute. Dont freak out, but be very pro-active. Its your health. Good luck. Carol Carol, lumpect. 4xA/C 4xTAX, Mast. in Aug. 2009, Rad.

Thanks Carol....I find out tomorrow if they are bad or not..if they are I'm leaning for a double masectomy...don't really want to go there...would prefer taking out the bad calcifations because I absolutely hate the thought of being in surgery and recovery that long,,.but like you said..it is MY life and I need to be proactive Dx 3/18/2009, IDC, 1cm, Stage I, Grade 3, 0/5 nodes, ER-/PR-, HER2- |

Ok..just came back from the radiologist. I have 4 calcifications..3 are round and benign...one is rod shaped and suspicious. So I meet with the surgeon next Monday to discuss biopsy. The radiologist said Bi-rad of 4. He also said that normally he would have me wait 6 months to come back but with my "history" he wanted me to take action now.

Titan, Im sorry to hear about the calcifications. I have them too. Like Carol, I did four rounds of DD AC and I am not even done w/ taxol yet so wth. Had a lumpectomy in May, had my six month follow up and bam - calcs. I go for a biopsy on Monday - praying its nothing. I am leaning toward a bmx. Carol, question, did you do rads at all?

I had IDC, followed by a mastectomy and DD A/C and DD Taxol. 7 1/2 months later I went for my annual mammogram and they found what looked like calcification. Because of my history the doctor did a biopsy. It was DCIS, which wasn't there when I was diagnosed the first time. I chose to have another mastectomy and genetic testing. I am BRCA 2+ so I've also had a preventative hysterectomy w/BSO to try and avoid ovarian cancer. Hang in there. I'll keep my fingers and eyes crossed that your results are B9... Linda Dx 3/31/08, DCIS, ER+/PR- BRCA2+...Life is a series of every day miracles...
