Why all the fuss?

I am a post-menopausal working woman.  I just had a sterotactic biopsy which found no cancer cells but did find hyperplasic cells in the left breast.  Also micro-calcifications.  Now my doctor wants me to see a surgeon, and an oncologist, they are mentioning another (more invasive)biopsy and tamoxifin for 5 years.  I don't understand why they want to do all this when no cancer cells were present.  Is it just CYA?  Or should I panic?
