with the first biopsy they were considered mostly benign, however they were still atypical cells and he wanted to do a better biopsy (by removing them) so i had two removed. the results were that they were 'Atypical lobular Hyperplasia"? i think, something like that-... its late.
anyway, i guess there are variying views on this as to if they are pre cancerous cells or not. The surgeon felt some concern and wanted me to meet with an oncologist just to see what they thought (as there were a few questions the surgeon couldnt answer.
Anyway, it seems that often they want folks (that have ALH) to take tomoxifen to prevent...i haven;t talked with oncologist yet but will soon.
