Diagnosed...sorta

Bellevue1110

I had an abnormal mammogram and follow up ultrasound that identified 4 masses in my right breast. Had vab on largest one with a recommendation for 6 mo f/u if biopsy benign.

Seven days after biopsy I hadn't heard anything back from surgeon about results so I called office and a nurse said while the prelim report came yesterday they were waiting for the final results to call me. After some prodding and a time on hold she said doc was in surgery but that they found no cancer cells. If the final report agreed I'd be fine, if it was inconclusive i'd have to have another biopsy. Said someone would call me by friday. I wasn't happy no one called after a week to let me know I didn't have cancer, and unsure of why the "final results" could differ THAT much from the initial I called my newly favorite lady in medical records and got the initial report. Atypical ductal hyperplasia (and I guess the usual accompaniment, flat epithelial atypia, significant adenosis, microcalcifications, columnar cell changes, etc). The sample was sent to an academic medical center for consultation. I wonder why it needed consultation, and how/if this adh will affect how they want to deal with the other three masses they did not biopsy (all in same breast/ biopsied mass was 2.9 cm, the other three are around 1cm). the radiologist suggested 6 mo f/u if the biopsy was benign (and it is) but I assumed those were fibroadenomas....but then I assumed this one was too. is adh what the actual mass is called?

Ahhhhh....I have not been horribly worried, but I hate that this just continues. I just want to be done with it and say I'll come back in 6 months. Now hopefully the addendum will come back by friday then I can wait for follow up with general surgeon ( whom I dislike)... Then I'll want to be referred to an actual breast surgeon if I need a lumpectomy....ok. Thank whoever reads this for listening. I'm done crabbing. I'm also deeply grateful this is all I have to crab about. Any insight welcome.
