PASH and ADH in same lesion

Hi all,

First of all I want to thank you all for being here!! I am beyond grateful for all of your stories and your willingness to share. Although I don't know any of you personally it makes me feel less alone in my journey. ️

Anyway I'm 37. I have 2 kids (6 and 3) and I breastfed both of them for 2 years. I weaned my son about 8 months ago and decided I should see my dr because I've always felt I had lumpy breasts. It's impossible for me to tell what was new or what could be considered a lump. The nurse practitioner said I definitely have lumpy bumpy breasts and sent me for a diagnostic bilateral mammogram.

The tech at the women's health center sent me to a waiting room after my scan to wait for the radiologist. Long story short, he told me I needed a follow up US to confirm that my mass was a cyst. I got in for US 1 12 wks later and he told me it was a benign fibroadenoma. He recommended a follow up in 6 months. I decided there was no way I was waiting that long and to go ahead and schedule a biopsy. Even at the biopsy he told me he was 99% certain the results would come back as fibroadenoma.

He called me the next morning (yesterday) and told me he had mostly good news. That my mass is a very rare condition called PASH but that there is also a 1mm atypical ductal hyperplasia and that the pathologist recommends I get it excised to be sure there's no suspicious tissue in the surrounding areas. Not what I had expected to hear at all!

I have an appt with a BS in 6 days. As I'm sure all you know, the waiting is so hard! I'm trying to be present for my family and present in my life, but I kind of just want to hole up in my room with my computer and xanax and wait out the 6 days. Ha! Don't worry. I'm not doing that...most of the time anyway.

I've started reading through all the ADH club thread and mostly have seen people with micro calcifications where the ADH was found, although I could be interpreting wrong. Has anyone had it found in a lesion/mass? Does them finding Atypical Hyperplasia mean I have an ADH diagnosis?

Thanks again
