 [ Symptoms ] i have blood pressure issues family has a history of stroke and heart disease [ Disease ] obviously i do not know your wife is medical history and breast cancer risks nor can i examine her and view those mammogram results but i can probably back up the surgeon is decision mammograms are not perfect the only way to get a 100 assurance that this calcification is truly benign is by a pathological specimen examining it carefully under a microscope by a train pathologist even a biopsy a small piece of this calcification can be wrong so a excisional biopsy is often the best way to go this way the entire calcified area is removed and examined if this tissue is benign that you will know conclusively that this area is not cancer you and your wife can relax and will not have to worry that the mammogram missed something in medicine we have a saying gone is good that calcification is now gone it was not cancer and this is good
