Just a lumpectomy after microcalcifications we’re seen and biopsy revealed ADH. They didn’t find anymore ADH so I’m on the 6 month monitor. Double mastectomy seems extreme but I was ready to do that when I initially got the ADH diagnosis. But my doctor laughed - not in a mean way. I went right to worse case scenario lol. I’ll be checked every 6 months for the rest of my life.
