Glad you posted as I’m in a similar place. Core needle biopsy showing ADH and waiting for my surgical appointment which I assume will be to schedule a surgical biopsy of more tissue. Would love to understand the significance given the ADH. My understanding is that the surgery is more diagnostic than treating.

@tigerjulie, I was told that the excisional biopsy/ lumpectomy was done to examine the ductal cells and to see if the cells were outside of the duct. Pathology report stated normal margins. It is best to ask your surgeon and physician questions. I hope all goes well.

Hi @tigerjulie ,
I’m in your situation.
I’ve been scheduled fir a surgical biopsy next week.
After a diagnosis of ADH they want ti rule out the possibility of underlying DCIS or invasive tumors.
How did your surgery go?
