atypical hyperplasia puts you at higher risk of breast cancer in your lifetime. This is what I was told by my surgeon.  It is abnormal cells and many of them and they are one step from cancer.

First of all, my congratulations on the benign result! That's huge.  Re:  the atypical hyperplasia, I guess I would ask for a definition of that, and what kind of special follow up you should do.  

Any other members have advice?

Again, congratulation on the benign diagnosis.

Warmly,

Chris
