[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a spiculated lesion on your mammogram, OP?  This is something very, very specific.  The quote you refer to has to do with spiculated lesions and nothing from your previous posts indicate that is what they saw.  If you had a spiculated lesion you would be birad 5.  It also refers to invasive cancer and nothing you wrote is focusing exclusively on invasive as opposed to DCIS.  This is why I suggested you walk away from the internet, and I'm sorry if you disagree with that advice, but at least you should avoid latching on to these things.

You have calcifications.  That is not the same thing as spculated lesions, or any kind of lesions. And the possible outcomes for your biopsy are not just ,malignant or benign.  Its possible that you have nothing there at all, just calcifications.  Notice the list of benign lesions in that quote -- none of those apply to you.  They haven't seen a lesion and you may not have one at all.  In other words, this quote does not apply to you.

I guess this sort of thing is making you feel better, but I don;t see how.  Everything you post seems much more alarmist than the actual situation.[/quote]

Let me guess, it's the bc survivor again. I want to be polite since I tend to refrain from being nasty on here - but can you stay off this thread?  You seem to follow this thread closely for the sole purpose of picking apart my every post. This is not helpful. You telling me I'm an alarmist is also not helpful, even if that's how you see it. FWIW I haven't posted every detail from my mammo report. This is my journey and I'm handling it the best way I can. I don't know why anyone would be offended or bothered by my choices. I merely want to document this process for anyone else who finds themself in a similar position. I searched the archives and didn't come up with much, so I started this thread. The encouraging words and best wishes from other pp's have been great. It's awful to have to wait like this - even if YOU believe it's nothing, you're not my doctor or even a doctor at all I'm guessing. So why minimize my concern? As a mother of three I'd like to not focus on the what ifs, but it sure is hard. [/quote]
