Default REX, are you there? got my mammo report...

can anyone clarify this for me.

where's REX?
"i have grouped microcalcifications bilaterally which are largely unchanged" when compared to my previous 3 yrs. good thing i know.


however, there is a "cluster of more pleomorphic calcifications in the left breast, upper outer quadrant which does not appear to be stable in comparison to older films".

i know IF there is cancer that it's more likely to happen in the upper outer quadrant. what i don't understand is what pleomorphic means.

i went to the hospital today to medical records to p/u this report after i got a call that they want to redo the images on that side. i go back fri.

i'm not panicking but i am concerned, especially since i've been on oral methotrexate since last Nov.

ps... why do people cut in front of a person in a chair? it was my turn several times, like to get on the elevator, and someone cut me off at the pass. this is so irritating. and in a hospital no less. people are nicer to me in the carpy grocery store.

anyway. thanks for any advice you may know.

Well, that's a little scary, dear Judy, but remember your head and lean on your professional experience to think clearly and take advantage of all the expertise available to you.

I found this short explanation:

"Indeterminate pleomorphic calcifications that are considered suspicious ("BI-RADS 4") are more often benign than malignant. Cancer is detected in the biopsy in about 15-20%."

If you will feel more comfortable with a biopsy, then make sure you get one.

I'll pray about this.
