Biopsy found ADH, LCIS, and microcalifications

Thank you for your response. They called me within 24 hours. When I saw their number on my phone I knew that was not a good sign. Yes, my husband will come with me, I plan on calling again tomorrow. It just is scary that I don't see these three things all together on any forum or in any research. I am assuming the worst is that it will be cancer when the biopsy, whatever it is, they take out.

@kh4976, in addition to the helpful replies from @auntieoakley, I'm tagging fellow members like @elsie37 @wendysiegler @ngd @annie291 @nbrooks who also have had biopsy reports like yours showing both ADH and LCIS. The microcalcifications are likely benign, but can be helpful information for your cancer team.
KH, I find it helpful to keep pen and paper (or phone) nearby to jot down questions as they fly around in your mind. Then you can organize them before your appointment. Have you started a list already?

If I understand correctly your results of ADH is Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia which is a type of precancerous cells.

LCIS is Lobular Cancer In Situ, which is the encapsulated cancer cells before they break out and become invasive.

Microcalfications are just that, but if I understand correctly, placement and quantity of these are also indicators.

I hope these links can give you a bit of information, and maybe some ease of mind. Hopefully you can get more clarity on your own report soon. 😃
