Anyone had a prophylactic mastectomy for ADH diagnosis?

@maureenmckean I just recently found out I have ADH. I meet with a surgeon next week. What should I ask? At this point too, I want mastectomy. I feel that I will become very stressed every six months. Thank you for sharing!

@hamilton1945 I’m so sorry you have AHD. Did you find out from a biopsy? Or did you have a lumpectomy? My lumpectomy only found AHD - the fear was they’d find cancer - but they didn’t. I was still in a dark place because it seems so scary and I was officially higher risk. I think the overall risk is still pretty low. My breast surgeon left the practice. The every 6 months being checked helps. My new doctor is more aggressive and said I should consider taking tamoxifen- but I haven’t because I have heard terrible things about it from friends. I’m much less freaked out now - I’ve had 4 years of non findings I think now. Let me know if you had the lumpectomy already
