Which I know isnt actually the case. I have dense breasts , about 5 cysts, about 6 fibros, 2 lx which Im sure left behind nice scar tissue.. pretty much bags of marbles. So Ive translated this as " no new marbles" which is great :) maybe I can actual stay on a schedule of 6 month check ups .. even though my next one is in 3 months :P

    My breasts are like cobblestones.  Extremely dense and lumpy.  It is very stressful to feel many lumps that do not show up on imaging.  I have had a total of 14 biopsies/lumpectomies plus the sentinal lymph node surgery.  I was just diagnosed with ALH in November.  Luckily, I am taking anastrazole so I should be fine.

    Good luck to you.  I sympathize.

    Well, at least I was diagnosed with bc at stage 1a for both primary bc's of mine.  I am very lucky.  I really have nothing to complain about.  I hope that you are ok too.

    That is wonderful.

    LCIS is so scary though.  So is ILC.  Mine were both pleomorphic.  The tubular carcinoma that I had is not big deal.

    Now I have ALH too. 

    I had other atypias before but they were excised when I had my lumpectomies for my bc.

    Good luck.

    Yes!

    I just went to my MO in Florida today.  She corroborated what my RO at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center told me regarding the ALH.  That is a relief.  They feel that the Arimidex/Anastrazole will take care of the ALH so I do not need to do anything more nor worry about it.

    I hope that you are feeling well too.
