Hi @mk24,
I had ilc stage 2b in 2020. Grade 2 (moderately fast growing). I had a single mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy. My lymph nodes were clear. Ive been on zolodex and exemestane for 3.5 years.
I dont know my ki67 but maybe you can infer. It is unlikely that a double mastectomy will be offered because if no sign of cancer in that side there is no point. It wont offer you additional protection above the hormone blocking. You have no estrogen so the growth of existing tumour should slow. If you end up having a braca gene then they will consider it.
A mastectomy is quite a big operation and you are having a reconstruction too. Its enough for body to go through.
I see you are having mastectomybtomorrow. Wishing you all the best. Emotionally, it feels better to have the cancer out and to be moving through treatment.
Michele
