[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had this and had a biopsy and it ended up being atypical hyperplasia which is not cancer but has a high probability of becoming cancer. I had it removed at Sibley. I will warn you that if this is the case for you there is no support in terms of getting support for women with these conditions. I am now followed by MD Anderson and found reconstruction is covered as well as custom made bras every 6 months. I was told of none of this at Sibley. It would have saved me a lot of money and the support would have been nice.  
DC is very odd when it comes to patient support. They will assume you are wealthy and will pay cash. [/quote]

What kind of surgery did they do for ADH that needed reconstruction? They should just do an excisional biopsy, not even a lumpectomy.  And not all ADH turns cancerous, it’s actually only 30% of women diagnosed with ADH develop cancer after 25 years. Don’t try to fear monger, you sound like an extreme overreacter. Many women are treated in DC and have good experiences. [/quote]

She is in the overtreatment cycle. BTDT. They will try to convince you that whatever thing you had biopsied needs to be excised for a full biopsy (a surgery+anesthesia for a lump already confirmed to be benign!!) and then will stick you with a reconstruction surgery oh and 6 month mammograms and ultrasounds for more money. For some breast tissue that you likely would’ve gone your whole life never having an issue with. [/quote]

I’m the PP and have had two excisional biopsies. Never needed reconstruction, not even for the lumpectomy I had after my ADH did turn cancerous a few years after it was found. Odd that someone would get reconstruction with an excisional biopsy for ADH. Not necessary at all. [/quote]
