Hi G Ann

I too have had microcalcifications show up. I was diagnosed in July 2005 and they showed up on my 6 mo follow up mammogram. My surgeon felt the only option was to biopsy them. He said it is just too risky to leave them alone. I had read that in my own research as well. If you have been diagnosed with BC then they recommend a biopsy to be sure. For those who have never had BC, they often watch them.

I have my surgical biopsy on Monday so I should know by end of next week. I wish you luck and hope that it turns out to be nothing.

Best Wishes
Patricia
