I found this exciting and wanted to pass this information on to the members of this forum so we can know that there is ongoing research to find a preventive for breast cancer rather than us getting breast cancer and having to undergo treatment and hope for a cure!

Do you agree with her doctor's statement below?
"Being vain is a GREAT thing and shows that you have a true desire and willingness to live. To be honest Jen, I get worried about the patients who are not willing to set any parameters and no longer care about the quality of their life or their looks."

Microcalcifications couldn't be experienced on clinical exam or your own breast self-exam. They do not harm. This is the value of mammography - it finds them long prior to they could move forward into an actual lump.
Most of the time, suspicious microcalcifications will be biopsied by means of a stereotactic method that enables the doctor to pin down their location and take away a sample consequently it could be examined by a pathologist. The intention of removing tissue by means of this method is not to get rid of all of the microcalcifications but to obtain a representative sampling accordingly a diagnosis could be completed.View Thread
