Anyone had a prophylactic mastectomy for ADH diagnosis?

Hello. Thanks for reaching out. That is great news about 4 years of non-findings. My ADH was found by needle, I am scheduled to see a surgeon on Wednesday. I am a mess and at this point I am ready for a mastectomy. I am so worried. Plus, I am on HRT so I need to figure out how to come off that. I have dense breast tissue and had extra imaging before, but never this. I wish I had never started HRT. I feel guilty and worried. My husband is trying to help me stay positive and wait to hear what the surgeon has to say. It is so hard!! Thank you!!

@hamilton1945 I was in your shoes - well I wasn’t on HRT. Try not to jump the gun. ADH is NOT cancer. I’m assuming you’ll have a lumpectomy and they will know more. I went down a deep dark tunnel and already felt like I had cancer - my life felt shifted from life before and life after. Of course all that worrying for not!! Easier said than done but try to be positive- the stress doesn’t help. I’m hoping when you meet with the surgeon you’ll feel better - make sure you bring someone because stress make it hard to think straight or remember anything - please keep me posted and I’ll send prayers abc healing vibes your way!
