Breast microcalcifications disappeared during stereotactic vacuum biopsy

I had a large 4cm breast cyst and whilst getting that one checked and aspirated I was also diagnosed with new 6mm microcalcifications on left breast. They were classed as M3 (uncertain but probably benign).They appeared about about 2.5 years after my last mammogram. I was told I needed a Stereotactic vacuum assisted biopsy. During this biopsy, they entered the area but I felt dizzy and they stopped the procedure before taking any tissue to give me sometime to recover.
When they restarted they were unable to find the microcalcifications. Then they took new mammogram images and these images didn't show the microcalcifications that were present half an hour ago.
I was told that there was no need to continue the biopsy since there was nothing concerning on the new images anymore and the microcalcifications must have been tiny cysts (possibly milk cysts) and they probably burst and disappeared during the procedure.
Has anybody had an experience like this I wondered.
Thank you
