Now seeing more clusters of microcalcifications

Hi there,

First post here. Tomorrow I go in for a 2 site stereotactic biopsy on my left breast after a mammogram, followup US and DBTUST trial study was diagnosed as BIRAD 4b with 6-8 clusters of microcalcifications. I had a b9 diagnosis in 2011 after a lumpectomy in the same breast and am diagnosed with dense tissue and atypical ductal hyperplasia, so I am a bit worried now that five years later we are seeing more clusters. I'm 52 and going through menopause currently, plus I have lost 105 lbs in the past year, shrinking my breasts from a size C cup to a B cup! My mother had breast cancer in her left breast and she was diagnosed in her early 70s -- they were able to do a lumptecomy for her with no recurrence.

Has anyone had good results after more calcifications were found after a prior b9 report?

Thanks in advance!

    Well, I guess I'll be moving to the diagnosed forum. Got call from nurse last week that I had invasive from one test site and ADH (as I knew) from the other. I am trying to get my pathology report to find out what else has been determined as the nurse did not give me that information. Have a consultation with a BS next week so I'd like to read the report (even if I don't understand it) before seeing her. Wish me luck. :(

    vicwytch - sorry about your diagnosis. Yes, good luck getting your path report. You will find lots of thread here related to whatever treatment you decide on - surgery, chemo, rads, hormones, etc.
