Anyone dealing with Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH)?

My original diagnosis was ADH and after biopsy it was changed to stage 1 cancer. (Biopsy was 4 days after the original mammogram found a small suspicious area).
I was taken to ultrasound immediately when mammogram showed something abnormal—same day. I’m not sure what the BI-RAD 6 means, but I met with a breast surgeon once pathology of biopsy showed cancer (2 days after biopsy was performed) I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks after that and radiation a week after the surgery. In hindsight I might have kept calm and researched some more...congrats to you.
Have you had a biopsy and heard results yet?

Thanks for the reply. Yes I already had the core needle biopsy about a month ago (after diagnostic mammogram that showed microcalcifications). And from that, the pathology report shows ADH. Based on that, the radiologist report indicated final finding as BI-RAD 6 - surgical removal recommended. This was what prompted me to see a breast surgeon in the first place

I had a breast ultrasound because of a lump I detected and then a biopsy which resulted in a diagnosis of ADH (non cancerous) and the recommendation was to remove the tumor surgically. The reason was because it was large and that lends increase possibility for detecting cancer.
I was leaning toward going the preventative route with regular mammograms and maybe meds to decrease the production of estrogen, but now I’m not so sure. I have my GYN, the oncologist and my internist all telling me to have the surgery. Any input appreciated.
