Nanny my name is Leslee and I just had a breast medical reduction and my pathology report came back with ALH in my right breast. The doctor has referred me to the oncologist at the mayo clinic in Arizona in December to take an MRI to do further tests. What is your thoughts and I have a 27% chance of getting breast cancer in the future.

I would definitely get a 2nd opinion!
My initial biopsy said I had ADH (I think ALH is similar) and I had surgery to remove it and that biopsy came back as extensive, level 2 DCIS but they ALSO found an extremely rare Invasive Metaplastic Carcinoma.
If I would have just gone with the first biopsy results and did not do surgery, in the long run, the outcome would have been much worse.
Hopefully that is not the case with yours, but much better to be safe than sorry.
