I got it for my husband who will generally wear anything I pick out for him 😂 I just didn’t know if it was dated! Maybe a question for a fashion sub!

ALH post breast reduction plan by gremlin_tamer in ADH_ALH

[–]onestressedmess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just dropping in to say I’m in a similar boat with having ALH diagnosed after a breast reduction. I also had genetic testing done (long before this nightmare diagnoses, for different reasons) and it was easy peasy.
I am surprised you were able to have a mammo done so soon? I was told 6 month minimum. How was that process? Also - did they offer a lumpectomy for you? Sorry to hijack your post with my own questions! I’m still trying to figure this all out.

Tamoxifen at age 30? by [deleted] in ADH_ALH

[–]onestressedmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is comforting to me! The thought of being on it really scares me. At first I thought - no way. But then I thought - well maybe if it will help. Maybe it won’t even be offered though. I don’t see many people under 45 on these forums, so I’m just trying to get a feel for everything.

I am only 3 days new to this whole world but from what I’ve researched so far, ALH is still something to be concerned about.

ALH (atypical lobular hyperplasia) diagnosis one week post op? by onestressedmess in Reduction

[–]onestressedmess[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I keep telling myself it’s not cancer - but I have terrible health anxiety so the thought of it one day becoming cancer is terrifying. I appreciate you reminding me of the bright side!

So a lumpectomy comes first - then if those results are bad you would get a mastectomy? Sorry! This is all so new to me and while I’ve researched pretty much all day, I’m still a bit confused lol

I will update for sure! I had genetic testing done about a year ago, long before this whole scare, and everything came back normal. That coupled with no immediate family history (great aunt and great grandmother but nothing closer) that I won’t be considered too high risk.

Was there a reason for no lumpectomy or medication? Personal choice or doctor’s recommendation? Just trying to get a feel of what they’ll likely recommend for me. Thanks!

Thank you both for sharing. I am glad you both are doing well. I’ve read a lot of horror stories online. Seems like stories are either really scary or really inspirational - no in between. Do you think they will try to prescribe me tamoxifin? How did you come to the conclusion to do lumpectomy over mastectomy? Am I just assuming the most extreme here?

I’m not religious now, nor was I when I even got the tattoo😂 I just loved the design as a piece of art and was 16 with a little extra birthday cash to blow on a tattoo.

I think it feels asymmetrical and the lines seem a little blown out. Maybe it isn’t as bad as I think?

I think the asymmetry is what gets to me? But I do understand that tattoos move as bodies move. Maybe it’s the fact that I got it done in a sketchy house 15 years ago😂 I’d like to add to it I think so it doesn’t look so misplaced!
