Talk with doctor: They usually do cone down views to look at the area closer, and if ok they will usually follow up in 6 months. Your doctor will have the exact reports and can tell you what they recommend.

Concerned: And follow-up. To be calcified, these have existed for a while. Self and professional exams are important, along with excellent mammograms. Your gyn and / or breast specialist will follow with you.

It all depends on: the characteristics of the calcifications. There are many causes of calcification, most benign. Cancers can also cause calcifications, however. Based on the size, shape, and distribution of the calcifications, the radiologist can classify them as benign, probably benign, or suspicious. If they are benign, no follow up needed. If suspicious, they might need biopsy. What was the recommendation?
