    i have never had a mammogram, but I do have a calcification. it feels like a jagged rock the length of a grain of rice and twice as thick. I can pinch it and roll it between my fingers. I have had it for 20 years or so and all dermatologists dismissed it as nothing.

    Hi Sabrina,

    If I'm overstepping please forgive me.

    You said you were told by the Dr. there are

    abnormal cells (what kind) & he recommended a lumpectomy, why did you decide to forgo the procedure?

    If you're not comfortable answering me I understand.

    Andrea:)
