I am a 36 year old female with a strong
family history of breast cancer(Mom,
grandma, aunt)
I have had two lumps removed over the last
5 years which have proved to be nothing,
thank god.
the most recent pathology report reads as
follows:
1. fibroadenoma
2. Associated intraductal hyperplasia
I know that #1 is nothing to worry about.
however, what is #2? I have never heard of
that before. I have to admit, I did not
wait for my doctor to call me with the
results. I went to the hosp and got the
results myself (results of core needle
biopsy)
I had the biopsy almost three weeks ago. I
have called my dr. office twice now. The
nurse gets a little snotty with me and
says "Don't call us we will call you" they
just don't understand that when you are
waiting and have such a big family history
of cancer one tends to worry a little.
So should I be concerned or just relax and
not even worry if the gy ever calls me
back?
thanks.
