Atypical lobular hyperplasia: Did you have surgery?

So sorry to hear of this new finding. I have had 4 breast surgeries since 2006, all lumpectomies, as a result of biopsies showing atypical hyperplasias. The issue with ADH and ALH is there is a 10%-30% incidence of more advanced disease found by pathology after excision/lumpectomy. It’s the primary reason my surgeon never recommended waiting. It is so interesting how perspectives vary at medical centers around the country.

@gardenfairy thank you for your response. Regarding your lumpectomies, was there ever an upgrade beyond ADH or ALH because of a definite cancer "lurking" around the atypical cells? Also, where does your oncologist work .... larger facility? It is interesting how perspectives do vary at different medical centers. I wish you the best!
