...this article makes me crazy....I had 6 mammos

in 2 months time....they did everything but turn me

upside down...seems I am full of calcifications in

both breasts

....I ask: Can this be scleroderma calcium deposits? I

get we dont think so it is in the tissue not the

skin...

then it is biopsy time..they take a large chunk out...

a chunk I really need as I cant afford to lose the

little bit I have in that area...only to decide after

all this it is the scleroderma..I am not convinced

that they really know all there is to know when it

comes to the mammo...I am sorry I havent written

....they decide to do the medrol bit...the larger doses

started to work..then the smaller doses just didnt

help...so have been in major flare for a week in a

half. This time it has decided to attack my lungs...a

PFT showed major restriction so off to see the

pulmonologist...hope everyone is feeling a little

better...my thoughts are with you all...Kathi in OK
