Having a dx of ADH - non cancerous, my doctor recommended removal of the tumor. I’m almost 79 with some other medical issues - hypertension, heart valve problem which are risk factors but I have no family history. After a lot of research I found that most women with this diagnosis do not go on to contract cancer- as little as 20% and even less in the first 5 yrs., especially in older women.
I just got a second opinion and he recommended getting a MRI which will show any cancer or changes by comparisons with the biopsy images. This seems to me the best next step. It will also show if there is any spread to the lymph nodes. Then depending on the results of the MRI a treatment plan can be chosen. I’m reluctant to have the surgery because of all of the above.
I wish you well
