Hello, I was just recently diagnosed with ADH. It is a lot to process. I have always been told that I have dense breast tissue, but this came as a shock. I see a surgeon next week. What should I ask? I am currently using HRT and now wish I never started. All the emotions and so much guilt. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi! I had a biopsy in December last year and ALH (atypical lobular hyperplasia) was found. I had a lumpectomy in January this year and the mass removed didn’t show any signs of cancer and more surprisingly any ALH. I am scheduled for a mammogram and an ultrasound in November and MRI after that. The surgery wasn’t bad. I am a lung cancer survivor and I am not under any therapy. I never had doubts about having a lumpectomy after the biopsy showed ALH. My surgeon described the surgery step by step and we talked about the possible outcomes of course. However, nothing is sure until the results of biopsy of the mass removed. Please let us know about your next appointment. You are going to be ok!

HRT did not cause your condition. Let go of your guilt.
