Anyone dealing with Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH)?

I was diagnosed with ADH back in June. My OB GYN was very concerned so I had a needle biopsy done. That is when I received diagnosis of ADH. So I was referred to General Surgeon for excisional biopsy. That surgery was done about a month and a half ago.
Fast forward to last OB appt, I will no longer be able to take any type of birth control as the estrogen can contribute to getting breast cancer. The surgeon went over results that diagnosis is still ADH and no cancer found (YAY!), but he recommended me seeing an oncologist to possibly start treatment with Tamoxifen. I have consultation with Oncologist on Monday.

That sounds like the standard treatment. You will be screened often which is a good thing. I have the same diagnosis but I am past the child bearing age. I was given another drug first but had to stop because of terrible leg pain. You should do well and good luck.
