Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (LCIS) || Dr Liz O'Riordan 

I understand your situation. I also got ILC in 2020. I had an MRI of BOTH breasts (cancer found on ultrasound after I felt a “thickening”) before I decided which surgery to have. I demanded it. Now I have an MRI every year in addition to a mammogram. It’s the only way I feel relatively safe, as far as a local recurrence is concerned. If it would give you peace of mind advocate for a yearly MRI! I would also like it explained to me why Lobular BC is said to go more often to BOTH breasts. Good luck with your treatments❤

I’m confused on how ILC presents to the patient? I’ve heard you can’t feel it. Is there pain? What would lead someone to the Dr?

I had PLCIS. One more issue since having Long Covid. With LC.have had many different weird aiilments including PEM and jiont muscle pain. Iknow I ned to excercise and keep active bt cant I makes it all wose.

the most recent research shows that Tamoxifen is not to be used for Lobular but nonsteroidal AI

I was diagnosed with lobular breastcancer of the left breast in february and had a lumpectomy and sn surgery in march. I started taking Tamoxifen last week. I Will have 15 radiation treatments starting in two weeks. I am now sleepless over the fact that only my left breast was tomografed , both checked with ultrasound which is how the radiologist detected the “lump” . My surgeon says she can promise me that my right breast is cancer free. Everything I read about lobular cancer says that she cannot make such promises, should I take her word and wait until next year for my annual scan (mammogram plus ultrasound since there is a family history ) or pursue the matter ? I know my “attic” is full of cancer ghosts right now and I have started meeting a professional for help with that. I cannot let the thought go though and have a hard time believing that they want to wait a full year until they examine me again. Sorry If this is an inappropriate question, feel free to erase it in that case.
