What % of women with ADH contract breast cancer

I asked my oncologist about getting another core needle biopsy and he said that it would likely conclude the ADH dx and recommendation for surgical removal. He said that aggressiveness and tumor characteristics are best described by tissue analysis, so my question to him is why not another core needle biopsy after 4-6 mo. rather than rush to surgical removal immediately? After researching the various drugs for prevention, the side effects can be horrendous and many of them I already have and would undoubtedly get worse. So at this point, no surgery and no drugs for me.
Thoughts anyone? I will post the answer I get to my question.

I had the excisional surgery to confirm my diagnosis. So you’re wanting to just watch it via CNB to see if it grow/changes? I’m not keen on any of these AI drugs too many bad side effects
