Hello. I have been dealing with trying to understand ADH. Mammo in Dec showed distortion so had MRI which led to sterotactic biopsies on 2 areas of right breast. 1 biopsy came back with a radial scar. They performed a lumpectomy to remove and found 1 foci of ADH. Surgeon assured me it was benign yet sent me to an oncologist to learn about cancer prevention. Oncologist while very nice seems a bit socially awkward and said we needed to do bloodwork to see if I had been through menopause to determine med path...I had a partial hysterectomy 12 yrs ago. Still have pain in breast where biopsies were performed, I am told it's normal. Ended up at 2nd surgical opinion because I was not understanding why not just have a masectomy instead of taking meds that seem to cause extreme side effects and surgery may reduce the risk more. 2nd surgeon backed up 1st and said to get info from oncologist. Went back to oncologist last week and she suggested trying aromatase inhibitors for 30 days and basically walked me out of room after sending in rx. Shouldn't they monitor or get base line of bone density, vitamin d, calcium,cholesterol levels? I have no breast cancer in family, have gone to a plant based diet( already dropped 14 lbs),exercise 6-7 days a week-aerobic with alternating weight training. I feel lost, confused, guilty for feeling this way. I am terrified of starting these meds and scared I will get cancer if I don't. Sorry this is so long.
