LCIS questions

After the pathology report of my breast tissue, they said I had a small ILC tumour and I had LCIS right through my breast. Just wondering if anyone else has been through this?

  • HI Tracey how are you? I hope your treatment has gone well. My doctor says that the Anastrazole tablets that I need to take now is the same treatment they would prescribe for LCIS. I just had the reconstruction operation , so back thinking about things again.

    My surgeon was very thorough prior to my mastectomy, and I had another mammogram and ultrasound of my good breast, to ensure that I didn't need to have a double mastectomy. I also had all the body and bone scans to check that there were no secondary cancers. I felt comfortable to get on with the job when I had my initial surgery. I also had a discussion with the breast surgeon about the treatment team and we had a plan in place for follow up chemo and rads. This made it easier for me to get on with treatment. Hope this helps, all the very warmest of wishes to you and your family xxx

  • Thanks Trace, sounds like the same thing happened to me. Did they give you any confidence on whether they could detect if the remaining breast has LCIS in it or not?

    Hi Marion, my lobular cancer had seeded right through my right breast prior to my mastectomy. When the breast surgeon showed me the report, I was speechless. It just creeps up on you before you realise it. Hoping that your treatments and recovery goes smoothly for you, Trace ??????
