I had my breast biopsy done today. When I was referred- I was told I had heterogeneous microcalcifications at 3 o'clock, and focal asymmetry below the nipple they wanted to stereotatic biopsy. Today when I arrived they wanted to rerun the scans, so we did a fresh mammogram and new US. The radiologist looked them over and changed the plans. Instead we did a ultrasound guided mammogram and he sampled my 'retroareolar: a small cluster of cysts within echogenic tissue without increased vascularity or shadowing- measures 0.5x0.4x0.2 cm' which was not an area of concern to the other radiologist, and not listed as needing a biopsy.

Im just confused. Are all three finding linked? If so, why would one radiologist want 2 things sampled, and not be concerned about the third, yet another see it so differently? And now I'm afraid I'll be going in again for another biopsy

Has anyone here had focal asymmetry (I believe I can now feel a/the lump- but maybe its in my head) coupled with clustered microcalcifications (not in the same area)? If so, what were the findings after your biopsy?

My anxiety has me sick, I can't sleep, I can't eat. Biopsy is tomorrow, as stated in another post.

What do you wish you took with you, knew before hand, or did before/after your breast biopsy. I expect to have two incisions, at 3 & 6 o'clock.

Ive prepared by buying a front close bra, bandages and small icepacks, but what else could be helpful to know or have on hand?

Edit/spelling

So- here I am. I had my first routine 'Welcome to the 40 Club' mammogram on Friday May 22nd, called back on Monday May 25th at 8:55am.

My PHP told me the US and DX mammogram showed dense breast, asymmetry and a group of microcalcifications, at the same location- they want me in for a biopsy (June 9th).

The spiraling has begun
