AA. I will add my experience to the mix. I had a "suspicious area, probably benign, return in 6 months" mammo. I decided to get a second opinion of this reading. Went to a doc who specializes in breast care. She did an ultrasound which confirmed calcifications. Also sent me for an MRI which did not show it. (I am having difficulty remember the sequence. It seems to have happened a long time ago although it was only 2007!) She followed with a sterotactic biopsy which then confirmed cancer. I am grateful for her dilligence. Hope this helps. I find it all very complex!
