Calcification Trail. Confused!

kirstiekoala

Sorry if someone has already asked this but on my mammogram there was a 7cm calcification trail extended from the cancerous lump in my left breast. They have done a biopsy and i am waiting results but i was curious and slightly confused. Is calcification trail/cluster usually come back positive to cancer? I never thought to ask why the doctor was so concerned about it. Can someone shed some light? I am resisting the urge to use Doctor Google atm, haha
