Dear Holly, judging by what you've written you seem to be in good shape. They haven't found any tumor and lots of women have these calcifications, which are not cancer. However, the medical team want to make sure there's nothing to worry about in an abundance of caution. You're obviously worried about the biopsy? I was too when I had mine and really there is nothing to worry about. I had a nurse and a doctor perform the biopsy and they kept talking the whole way through, explaining everything as they went along - I could not believe something that terrified me, was actually making me giggle! It lasted about 45 minutes in all and best of all 'no pain'. They take out a small portion inside the breast to be examined to make sure it's ok and again, hard as it is to believe, there is absolutely no pain and when they're finished place just a very small band aid over the spot. However, these are still moments of anxiety no matter how brave we think we might be, so make sure to bring someone - possibly your mom - with you. Because it's hard to remember everything they might tell you and another person who isn't the patient will remember things that you might not remember later. God bless and let us know how things turned out for you. Blessings!

Thank you so much. Yes I worry about the biopsy and I pray it is ok. My primary care doctor just released my mammogram notes dated 2 weeks ago. I don’t like the way it looks. Birads- 4b. Suggestive linear branching. 😔 praying

You are so encouraging. Thank you for the feedback. It means a lot.

I agree that breast biopsies (3 different times in my life) are pretty easy and painless. I had very kind and gentle teams each time. The first biopsy in my 20s was benign. My first cancer was at 54. @isaish53n5 You may never have cancer, but always want to check thoroughly. Better safe than sorry as the saying goes. About 80% of breast biopsies are benign — not cancer. The odds are in your favor.
