I don’t have a magic answer for you, but I’m right there with you! Boards 4 areas in both for me, and I have to wait a whole week for biopsies. This happened to me last year too. The waiting is horrible. A million times a day I go from totally fine, go about my business like nothing is wrong, and then I find my self obsessively thinking or google. Try staying busy, exercising, wine? Lol. I haven’t found a perfect solution, but you’re not alone! Hang in there. Worrying wont change a thing

I am in the same boat right now. I have cluster of pleomorphic calcifications in left breast, upper outer. I am totally obsessed right now. Waiting for biopsy on the 18th. I want to go just one hour without thinking about it! 😩

Research: Maude Adverse Event Report, Johnson and Johnson Ethicon division Titanium Breast clip.

I suggest you read this about insertions of Titanium Breast clips at biopsy site. It has me concerned. I too have calcifications, but in my right breast. I read my biopsy procedure and was alarmed about the Metal Titanium clip they will insert and will stay in your body indefinitely for them to re locate biopsy site. I don't think I want that in me after reading possible adverse reactions.

I also have grouped calcifications in my right breast, increased in number from previous mammograms. I was BIRADS3, but now that they’ve increased it’s suspicious and they are not even giving me a BIRADS rating. I’m having a stereotactic core needle biopsy tomorrow, and I’ve waited 3 weeks to get it done due to scheduling availability. I’m 41, wife and mother of 2 beautiful girls, and am an RN. I’ve had a lot of time to go between freaking out with certainty that I have cancer, to 99% sure it’s nothing. They tell me my results will take about 2 days, which means hopefully by next Tuesday since the weekend doesn’t count. I’m guessing that phase of waiting is really going to suck. Hoping I’m in the lucky 80% benign cases, and for the moment I’m feeling pretty positive. This organization has been a wonderful resource and source of support, I’m so glad to have found it

Mary, I too am scheduled for a biopsy. Mine is next Friday. Like you, I'm terrified. I had a biopsy 7 years ago and was diagnosed with DCIS, had a lumpectomy & 6 weeks of radiation. My experience with the biopsy wasn't a good one, so my anxiety level is through the roof! I'm going to the hospital to have this one done so I'm hoping things will be better. The waiting for the biopsy, worrying about the results, etc. etc. are driving me crazy! I can't sleep, have no appetite and want to cry all the time. I'm trying so hard to keep my chin up. I came to this site for reassurance and hoping maybe I can help someone in some way. Thanks everyone for letting me vent.

You're right Kim - the waiting is horrible! The first place I called couldn't take me until May 2! I could not have waited that long. Thank goodness the hospital was able to take me next Friday! The roller coaster of emotions is exhausting. Trying to stay as positive as I can though. Hang in there! We will get through this.

Okay, a zero is a rating. More testing required

Kimi89, I've also stopped looking at other websites besides this one. I'm finding so much comfort on this site. I did good this weekend. Kept very busy so I didn't have time to worry. Hanging in there as best as I can & hope you are too. I'll definitely let you know how it goes but plz let me know how everything goes for you too on Wednesday. Sending positive thoughts your way. Hoping you get some sleep. I know how hard it is when your brain starts working overtime in the middle of the night.

Hi Kimi89, just checking to see how you are & how it all went today? Hoping you’re doing good

Aww...I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I'm glad they did it all yesterday. It wouldn't have been fair to make you wait any longer. Please keep me posted. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts too. I really appreciate it. I think of you often as well. I'll check in on you again soon. In the meantime, I'm ready to get this biopsy over with! So tired of thinking about it & worrying. Take care & keep yourself busy with things you like to do.

Thanks Kimi89. Appointment is at 10:00. Ready for it to be over

glad it went well!! We may get results on the same day! Fingers crossed and lots of prayers! So nice to have someone who completelyunderstands.

Hello. This is actually my first ever post to any kind of board or community but I have been reading and feel supported already by comments not even directed at me. So here I go: I am a 43 year old who is scheduled for a biopsy May 2. I tried to get in sooner but I am having two areas biopsied so they need a longer block of time. I went in for a routine mammogram early April and was told that i needed to return for a magnified mammogram of an area on my right breast. Had the second mammogram April 17 and met with the radiologist who explained that she saw fine pleomorphic calcifications with a linear distribution about 4.5 cm long. Birads 4c. She said that she recommends biopsy of the area at the forward and end of the distribution. Hence the two biopsies. I understand statistics and it could all be benign but im still worried.

Hi, I too am waiting on my biopsy scheduled for April 30th. I am so scared for the results. Went in for US and mammogram 2 days ago. Radiologist found a solid mass in my left breast, upper outer quadrant as well as swollen lymph node in armpit. Both showed up white in images and he wants to make sure it isn’t cancer that is spreading. I’m only 34 years and a mother to an 18 yr old, 16 yr old and a 1 yr old. Im so worried and can’t stand the waiting. Praying for the best for myself and everyone else in this situation.

hi moonrabbit and Rhiannon! So glad you both posted. There is so much support here, and it is so nice to have people who know EXACTLY what you are going through. I had my biopsy Wednesday, and honestly, waiting two weeks to get it was the worst part for me. It was driving my out of my mind. Since the biopsy was done, I have felt much better. Like Jeri64 said, try to keep busy and TRY not read too much on google. (I know, easier said than done!) Sending positive thoughts!! 😘
