Eight years ago, tamoxifen or another estrogen blocker was not offered for my finding of ADH. I also have an autoimmune disease. I read an article in January that indicated the auatoimmune inflammation is now considered to increase breast cancer risk. I asked the nurse practioner at my ob/gyn's office to recalculate my risk and look at newer protocols for follow up at my January visit. She conferred with breast center and we set up a diagnostic mammogram and an mri. The diagnostic mammogram led to an ultrasound the same day and lilelihood of cancer. Because mucinous breast cancer is slow growing and mine was over 1 cm, it's very possible it was missed on previous maitenance exams.
