Fibroadenoma/Associated Intraductal Hyperplasia (cp)

I am a 36 year old female with a family history of breast cancer. (mother, grandmothers, aunt)
I recently had an abnormal mammo and ultra sound, I re did the tests 6 months later and then it was decided that I was to have a core needle biopsy, which I did 2 and a half weeks ago.
My doctor is giving me a hard time about getting back to me with the results "Don't call us, we will call you when we have the info"
I decided to take matters into my own hands and requested the pathology reports from the hosp on my own. They read as follows:
1. fibroadenoma
2. Associated intraductal hyperplasia

I know and understand what #1 is and no that it is nothing to worry about, thank God. However I do not understand what #2 is. Can anyone explain? I tried looking it up but I am not getting much luck. Does this basically maen I'm fine and no worries....

I know that you all may not be doctors but if some of you could give me a little insight I'll feel better.
Thanks,
Sharri

Hey Sharbear--I am not a nurse or anything but have read this forum a lot. today I was diagnosed with a really rare BC--so I am still perusing. But I have read a lot about hyperplasia and you are right--you are probably fine.  I did paste this from another answer about ATYPICAL hyperplasia...but it covers what you have too...the following answer came from a nurse on this forum.

"We do not know what actually may be causing changes such as hyperplasia (too many cells in the
duct), or if the fact having hyperplasia will progress to something atypical. In Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book she describes a study done by a David Page, of Vanderbilt University. He studied 10,000 biopsies and found, not surprisingly, that there was a progression of risk going from hyperplasia to atypical hyperplasia etc. The women with hyperplasia and no atypia had a slightly increased relative risk (barely significant), which was worse when compounded with family history. (Relative risk means: if you call the risk of a woman without any particular risk factors 1.0, you can then report risk of those with a particular risk factor in relation to this) So if a normal woman has a relative risk of 1.0 over a lifetime. A woman with hyperplasia would be 1.5, compounding that with family history her relative risk would be about 2.1. These were the findings in this particular study. "

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry that your diagnosis is not as good as mine. Hang in there. I know I don't personally know you but i am sending positive thoughts your way.
