[quote=Anonymous]You are reading way way too much on the internet.  This is 22:52 again, breast cancer survivor.  I can see the signs of it in your posts.  This is a self-destructive thing to do.  I know, I've been there.  Educating yourself is fine but you need to get your information from the internet.

Pain is a sign of late stage cancer?  First of all, late stage cancer is metastatic, so what they are referring to is pain in the bones, that kind of thing.  And if you read about that, you WILL experience it, so don't read about it.

Most women with breast cancer do not experience any pain in their breasts.  I did have some discomfort and my cancer was considered early stage.

Be very careful about this whole late stage thing.  You are already jumping way ahead of yourself.  You may justify it by telling yourself things like you are being realistic and educating yourself, but I keep reading things in your posts  that are alarmist and not very realistic.

From what you have written the issue is calcifications, not an actual tumor.  You don't have a lump and they aren't seeing a tumor.  I know what a tumor looks like on a mammogram, there's no mystery.  It sounds like what they are concerned about is DCIS, which is noninvasive cancer that has a 100% survival rate.  Some don't even call it cancer.

I have never heard of anyone being diagnosed with cancer based on calcifications on a mammogram alone that had anything beyond either DCIS or early stage 1.

Walk away from the internet.  You aren't helping yourself.[/quote]
