Hi
Thanks for replying.
It has been 2 years since my diagnosis. It was on the MRI that showed the first signs of LCIS. I then had a vacuum assited biopsy which showed positive.
Six months later I found another lump in my right breast . The results showed LCIS but not invasive yet. My specialist suggested having both my breasts removed. She said that I had a chance of 30% of it turning it breast cancer. I have decided to take a chance. I had another vacuum assisted biopsy on the left breast 6 months later & it showed suspicious cells. So I had to have another lumpectomy which showed LCIS
I have a Ultra sound every 6 months, a mammogram once a year & a MRI once a year.
I just don't like living like this with the fear & worry hanging over my head all the time.
How often do you get tested?
Regards
Cheryl
