I have been having a really bad week with my PAF and have spent several days in bed.
But this past Friday I went for a Mammogram and I received a call Monday morning that they saw something. I had to go back today for another Mammo and I was told I have two calcifications on my right breast. I was told I need a double needle biopsy to rule out cancer.
Please pray that I don't have cancer.

Xena, I know how scary it came be, I had to remove last week a precancerous mole in my back shoulder. My wife has had numerous scares with her mammograms, but she always cleared the second exam. I guess its a common missed diagnostic. I know, you will be fine. Hang in there for a few days. You'll see, Good luck wit the other doctor apts.
Blessings, Xena, you are in my prayers. I too have had 2 call backs on mammograms, so while it is always scary, they seem to err on the side of being cautious. Let us know how you are doing.
Xena, I am praying for you, it seems with PAF so many other things go wrong. i feel that way lately, just seems to be one thing after another. I am praying for you , please let me know how you are and all..
Thanks for all the prayers and I'm trying to be strong and hang in there. I see the surgical oncologist in the morning at 10:00am to set up the biopsy. I will keep everyone updated. I will post again tomorrow, I should know more then.

Thanks for all the prayers, they must have worked. I saw the oncologist and she did see several areas of calcification, but didn't know which areas the radiologist wanted biopsied. She will be setting up a meeting with him as soon as possible to discuss the mammograms. She said everything she saw was small and she didn't see anything that would warrant urgency. She is going to call me back after the holiday. She told me to have a Happy Thanksgiving and not to worry. So if she is not concerned, then I'm not going to be either.

Well prayers are not always answered the way we would like them to be. The oncologist was looking at the wrong x-rays, to tell you the truth I don't even know if they were mine. The oncologist calls me one night, a few days later. Changes her statement and says there are two problems areas, she wants me to come in the next day for a biopsy simulation. I go, they do the simulation, I am not a canidate for the Stereotactic biopsy. So now the oncologist doesn't want to do the biopsy at all, she just wants to wait and see. I fired her, went to another surgeon and now I am having an open needle biopsy on Dec. 7th. I still need the prayers.
