waiting for answer. Would be great if you can take a sec and
answer them
Calcifications were seen on mammogram of a 2 time breast cancer patient?My mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer twice, 10 years apart, most recently being back in 2008 and has had many metastases. She went for a mammogram a few weeks ago and and just told me that they found 3 calcifications. One doctor said it's ok, just nothing but her oncologist wants to run more tests.
I try not to worry but it seems like every time a doctor thought it was nothing, her "asthma" diagnoses was really mets in her lungs and her "arthritis" was mets in her bone. What are the odds that calcifications in a two time breast cancer patient are benign?
She has been on chemo and Herceptin every week for 6 years, with small breaks in between chemo rounds. It has metasticized to her lungs, hip bone, liver and now colon in those 6 years.

I too am a breast cancer survivor and continue to show calcifications. I have bone pain as well...sometimes I wonder if it is more to worry about. It is always in the back of my mind. Let her oncologist run the tests....it's better safe than sorry.
