Medicine they are asking me to take is Anastrozole and I am looking for feedback from the community on the side effects experienced from this drug.

34 & recovering from 3rd lumpectomy in 3 years…so over it!
Hi all, I’ve been around the forums since my first BIRADS 4C biopsy back in 2019 right after I turned 30. Came back as a radial scar with ADH and a few other things.

ADH Club
Can we start a thread on ADH (known as atypical ductal hyperplasia)? There may be one already existing, but without a lot of hunting around, it's not easy to locate and may not be recent. I'm 51 and have (had) no risk for BC other than being a female - non smoker, no immediate BC in my family, I'm fit, I exercise, eat…

History of ADH; breast biopsies in April to May 2023
Hi All, Thank you very much for your kind support this past month. I really appreciate it. I had core needle biopsies and an excisional biopsy in 2009 when I was found to have fairly diffuse atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) on the right side.

Just diagnosed with Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia (ADH)
So... I was just diagnosed with ADH (had steriotactic biopsy after single cluster of microcalcifications appeared on mammogram).
