Thanks Arpie and youngdogmum for your replies. My doctors at Peter Mac were pretty dismissive of my ILC so I assumed that long term prognosis was good. Now after reading FRED HUTCH website, I am being to think that they are verging on incompetent. Lobular cancer is better picked up by a 3d mammogram. To date they haven't bothered to 3d mammogram my other breast. In addition they recommended immediate relatives have ordinary mammograms, not 3d mammograms. Also Breast Screen Australia should replace their mammogram machines with 3d mammograms. Around 10%- 15% of the female population are neglected; these screenings are useless and can women a false sense of security. Its not good enough. Anyway I wish you both successful long term remission. kindly Berry
