Past Mammo has showed calcium deposits to the left breast and last Mammo scored a 3. I am concerned I could now score a 4 on the mammo

Hello
Thanks for your query.
Calcium deposits are nothing much to worry about, so do not unnecessarily stress yourself out.
Regarding the pain, that is sometimes common after menopause ( surgical menopause in your case ).
As you do not have a history of breast cancer in the family or history of intake of hormone replacement therapy, there is no need to be worried.
Even if the score is 4, a biopsy will clear out things.
So relax right now.
Take care.
