Re: Microcalcifications in tumour bed
Apparently I have macrocalcifications in my other breast. They asked for extra pics when I had my mammograms done after the lumpectomy. Then said everything was fine. It was not until I read the report I saw the words macrocalcifications.
It did scare me at first, but I know they are being watched. My onc and surgeon feel they are not a problem.
Sometimes I wish I wouldn't read all the reports. TMI
Try not to worry! Easy to say, I tell myself that at least 10 times a day for a "what if" pain or twinge.
