They learned about the other breast AFTER surgery in my right. When doing the reduction and lumpectomy, they sent a biopsy from left breast to pathology and it came back a week later with atypical ductal hyperplasia. It’s not cancer and they don’t know if it will progress to cancer so they will only monitor via mammogram.

Hi @indy0311, yes it is possible to have 2 different types of breast cancer. See this related discussion:

You can also learn more from fellow members who have been diagnosed with atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) in this discussion:
