I've posted on HealthBoards before, but on the thyroid forum, hence the name "ThyroidGirl." Now here I am hanging out on this message board too, thanks to breast calcifications. I had some a few years ago that were biopsied and all turned out fine, but a recent mammo showed I have more again, this time in a cluster. I've read a cluster is more likely to be DCIS. I'm having a stereotactic biopsy in the morning and I'm scared.
I'm wondering if there is a connection between my thyroid problems (thyroid removed in '06 due to goiter; benign for cancer), my pituitary adenomas (which supposedly aren't doing anything) and my calcified and cystic breasts! I feel like my hormones are wreaking havoc on my body. Anyone have similar problems or have experience with calcification clusters?

Yes, I will tell you that hormones play a vital role in breast health. Make sure you take your snythroid or whatever meds you're on as directed! As for the calcifications, if you are worried please make an appointment to have a mammogram. If you are younger than 40 your doctor can get you an appointment that should be covered by insurance.
