ILC and bilateral mastectomy

Hi @Eily, I was diagnosed with ILC in my left breast and had a partial mastectomy in November of last year. The pathology results showed the cancer was larger than the MRI detected.I had no node involvement. Then I had 4 cycles of AC followed by 8 weeks of Taxol-I had to stop that because the PN was getting worse. I had the choice of doing another small surgery to get clearer margins and then have radiation therapy or have a single or double mastectomy.I opted to have double mastectomy and Lat dorsi recon surgery with expanders.I choose this because I wanted to minimize the chance of recurrence as well as Avoid the constant imaging etc plus the imaging didn’t pick up the extent of the ILC so that was a concern as well. That was 6 weeks ago and I am having expander fills till my surgery after 4 weeks. Although its a difficult surgery and recovery takes time I am happy with the decision I made. If there is anything else I can help you with,please let me know. Hoping that helps to make a decision.Its a tough one for sure. Best wishes x
