Anyone dealing with Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH)?

I just recently had a breast cancer dx in the same location I had ADH excised 8 years ago. That puts me in the 15 percent of women who go on to have breast cancer. The pure mucinous cancer (2% of all breast cancers) was found on a diagnostic mammogram that happened only because I had read that inflammatory autoimmune disease increases your risk. I asked for my risk to be newly calculated (protocols have evolved but no one advised this) and moved on to advanced screening -diagnostic mammo, ultrasound and mri. My cancer was likely missed on yearly mammos as it is slow growing and I never missed one. I'm sharing not to scare anyone but rather to encourage people tp advocate for themselves when they have questions and concerns.

So based on your ADH you were not put on additional screening via a high risk breast center?
