Microcalcification biopsy
I was wondering if anyone here has experience with microcalcifications? In particular, whether they've been biopsied and if so, how many times? And have you had an MRI or other imaging to help understand the microcalcifications? I'm curious because I had microcalcifications show up in my other breast from my first mammogram a year ago. Two core biopsies were taken but a clip/marker wasn't inserted. The diagnosis was: benign proliferative changes. I've now had my second mammogram and they want to do another biopsy and insert a clip. They haven't said if anything has actually changed in that part of my breast in the past year. My surgeon is going to ask the imaging place for more information so I understand what's going on. I'm surprised that they want another biopsy so soon and seemingly without any change. I don't know if that's normal and whether that will be the case for the years to come?!
Post radiation lump
Hi all, I had DCIS which was extracted last November (wide local excision) and completed my radiation therapy in mid-Jan '24 which I did really well with. Was completely elated when the treatment was finished only to find a month later that I have some soreness in my affected breast with a hard lump now apparent and confirmed by my GP today. She has referred me for an ultrasound etc but wanted to canvas the group if anyone experienced anything like this or knows of similar side effects. Calcification perhaps?
