Understanding Breast Calcifications: What You Need to Know After a Biopsy

Question
I have recently had a needle biopsy after the doctors seeing 9 calcification's in my mammography. I was told by the radiologist they were very far back in my breast and for that reason he was concerned. He told me that even if the biopsy comes back okay I should have them removed because of how far back they are in my breast. He told me that the farther back they are the more likely it will become cancer and this is as far back as he could go with the needle. They came back not maligant. Is what he said to me true? Should I see an oncologist for a second opinion?  

Answer
Yes I think you should see an oncologist for a second opinion. The important thing here is what it looks like. The position may make it less easy to get a biopsy but otherwise it is not that important. But a technically good biopsy is important to obtain.
