hi if you do need to have a masectomy , the thought of it is a lot worse than having it . i had one went very well . stage two , can be controlled . you will be good . dont worry about what you cant control or the what ifs . most of it never happens anyway . everyone is there to help you .

Excellent advice. I, too, had ILC in my left breast over 20 years ago. Two years ago at age 82, I had a left breast mastectomy; was on Letrozole for 5 years. Have been off it only a few months but am doing fine. I enjoy life and will not think about what will be. As my grandfather, and you, Kern Booker, state 90+ percent of the time, nothing happens. The other 10 percent will occur whether or not we think about it; so worrying serves no healthy purpose. I hope everyone heeds your advice. Best wishes for an stress-free life, Francine Moran, and every single one of us.
