[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had ADH and DCIS show up on mammograms in the form of calcifications. So they’re definitely not a waste of time. Did they give you any reason for the callback? They have to say why they’re justifying it. Blurry images are different than masses or calcifications.

Good luck. [/quote]

OP here. “Asymmetry” in the right breast. [/quote]

I had a callback for an asymmetry of my left breast about a year ago. They took another set of images and did an ultrasound as well. It turned out to be just normal breast tissue. However, I am being followed with diagnostic mammos every 6 months to monitor 'pattern stability'. So far everything looks good. Still very anxiety inducing though.[/quote]

Same here - I had a callback for asymmetry and calcifications at the same time. The asymmetry was followed up with an ultrasound and classified as probably benign and the calcifications were biopsied and the cause was a benign cyst. I was followed for 6 months diagnostic for a year after and then they switched me back to yearly annual screenings. It’s not fun but I believe in the vast majority of cases asymmetry usually just needs extra imaging and ends up benign.[/quote]
