Welcome, @wendles

Radiation isn't always offered as a follow-up treatment to surgery. Was radiation recommended for you Wendles?

I am trying to get views from others about ALH~ diagnosed through biopsy and MRI. I have been offered a surgical biopsy or just a 5 year treatment of Arimidex with 6 mos follow up. I have no history and am post menopausal. My surgeon said the drug would lower my risk of it progressing to cancer by 75%. Anyone else trying to decide?

Hi Wendles,
I was not offered radiation as treatment for ALH. Since I’m on anastrozole for previously having invasive DCIS, my surgical oncologist isn’t recommending surgery at this time. I’m wondering if others had surgery to remove the atypical cells. I will probably seek a second opinion.
