Also uncommon for ILC, I had a lump.
I am going to reshare @arpies post about how ILC shows up differently and requires careful examination and certain types of mammograms (“3D”) for example, this was reported late last year and you might find it interesting. Unless you’re already feeling information “overload”.
I hope you’re feeling a bit better today and are able to get some rest. It’s a really tough time but hang in there, it sounds like your team are getting all the information they need to help you.
