I am re-reading my pathology report and it is written unlike any I have seen online. All of the things written are unimportant conditions according to various resources, but I was dx with ADH, and now I am so confused. I see the MO on the 26th, I just am so lost while I wait. If anyone has experience seeing these, here is what the diagnosis on my report says:
"Complex sclerosing lesion with extensive columnar change, columnar cell hyperplasia and apocrine metaplasia, with focal atypia, and sequela of previous biopsy." It says this both for the excisional biopsy and the lateral margin.
I know that a sequela is scar tissue, but looking up the rest all suggests there is nothing to be concerned about. Any help is appreciated from anyone who may have seen something like this before.
Dx ADH 6/2019 after surgical biopsy, starting 6-month monitoring

Did the surgeon who did your surgery review the results to you? They should have, if not call and ask them to interpret. You should not have to be googling your medical reports!!! A breast surgeon should be capable of explaining it.

She gave it to me and said that the diagnosis is ADH and talked about monitoring and a treatment plan. She didn't go over every single word.
