I was also diagnosed with atypical ductal hyperplasia. I just remember the nurse telling me the good news is you don't have cancer. She should not have said that. It gave me a false optimism. After biopsy they said I had DCIS. I just went for my 3rd lumpectomy because I did not get clear margins on the first two. I will get the path report Oct 5. for this last one. I just wish they had not said I did not have cancer when it ended up being cancer.
