Hi my wife has found she has calcifications in both breasts

We went into The Breast Clinic and to cut to the chase of it, my wife's right breast was cleared by a strong viewpoint of the mammogram and also she had ultrasounds on both breasts given that the left one showed a slight gathering of calcifications which can mean a lump, (in this case it would have been the size of a piece of rice) we were told.
Anyway she had a biopsy in four places and they have all come back benign, which is great news! Many thanks to your site here which helped me greatly!!
Her abdominal problems are a different matter to be investigated elesewhere. Many thanks Daisy and good luck to all that have posted here!

Hi Luciddreamer,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Breast calcifications are calcium deposits within breast tissue. They appear as white spots or flecks on a mammogram and are usually so small that you can't feel them.

Breast calcifications can be seen on mammograms performed in most women and are especially prevalent after menopause. Although breast calcifications are usually noncancerous (benign), certain patterns of calcifications — such as tight clusters with irregular shapes — may indicate breast cancer. 

Depending what the radiologist saw as far as the shape of the calcifications.  They might want to perform further testing.  To be sure it's not cancerous. Not always is calcifications in the breast cancerous. Some of the causes can also be due to cysts, injury to the breast, surgery.
