Hi Chelee,

The same thing happened to me HOWEVER my surgeon and the radiologist wanted the "calcification area of question" biopsied righ away. I had a stereotactic (I think that's how it is said/spelled) biopsy of the area and thankfully it came back benign. BUT at that point I decided a mastectomy of that breast was definitely something I wanted. To be honest, when my initial breast cancer of my right breast was diagnosed I wanted both breasts removed but let my first oncologist talk me out of it. The fearful event with my left breast confirmed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no breasts was best for me.

Thankfully, my insurance approved it and also VERY THANKFULLY after breast was removed, absolutely no cancer was found in that breast.

My heart goes out to you and most definitely PUSH for more answers.
