Cluster of classifications, from trauma?

Frannie1972

I just got results from 3D mammogram and dr. wants further imaging, will do this on Friday. I know a cluster is not good but not necessarily ominous but still am freaked out. I had a lumpectomy at 27 (I'm 46 now) to remove a galactocele ( basically, clogged milk duct from breastfeeding) exactly in that spot (if I'm reading the the location correctly, side, middle third section of breast?). Could the calcifications be from this lumpectomy? I have scar tissue there too. The incision was about 3 inches and the lump was like a small egg. Dr. says to additional imaging but not a biopsy but I can talk to breast surgeon "if I want?" So I don't know how alarmed I should be.

From report:

"A developing
		cluster of calcifications is identified in the lateral aspect of the right breast,
		middle third. No suspicious mass or architectural distortion is seen on either side."

Just wanted to update that I had my additional imaging today and there is a tiny cluster of calcs, doctor said benign and do follow up in 6 months but nothing to be concerned about.
