Do Micro calcifications mean cancer?

I just had a biopsy done after an ultrasound found a nodule that had micro calcifications. The biopsy came back negative but for some reason I just don’t believe it. Is there a more definitive way to rule out cancer? Can I ask to have the nodule removed and biopsied? I know I’m already high risk for cancer since I have CLL. Just don’t know that I trust that the biopsy didn’t miss the cancer cells. Thanks for your input!

I do wish I could answer your question. Unfortunately, neither experience nor reading has provided me with more than the most superficial appreciation of why you are asking. And nothing towards answering it.

Hopefully others who have experience or knowledge will come along soon.

Not what you're looking for?
