| 12/5/2010 | Hi, I was dx with LCIS 3 yrs ago with yearly mammograms alternating with yearly MRI. Refused Tamoxifen due to SE profile. Mammogram last week showed a few calcs around the area of excisional bx site--new calcs from last mammogram. Radiologist suggested biopsy. Surgeon said no biopsy and repeat mammogram in 6 mo. I'm confused. Would like to have my mammogram film read by a third party. Does this sound reasonable? | ||
