In May of 2023 I discovered a lump about the size of a walnut in my right breast. It literally just appeared out of no where and I could see it sticking out when I laid down. I had my lumpectomy and the surgeon told my husband that she took out about the size of a lemon but there was also an area next to it that “looked strange” so she took that also. When my pathology finally came back, I had “extensive grade 2 DCIS and also LGASC (which was what “looked strange”).
I ended up having a sentinel node biopsy but no cancer was found to have spread.
I then learned I needed to have a re-excision surgery because my margins weren’t clear. My Oncotype was 32 so I didn’t need Chemo. I did 20 Radiation treatments and now take Tamoxifen daily.

How was your LGASC found?

@mchler73 -

Thanks for that summary. ❤️‍🩹 I’m sorry you’ve been through this.

My LGASC was found on my annual mammogram. I was not able to feel it and didn’t have any symptoms out of the ordinary. I was diagnosed on September 27, 2024. (Very grateful for the eagle-eyed radiologist who recognized the difference on my mammogram.)

Do you mind sharing how old you are? I am 59. (Im only asking to continue to put together our LAGSC puzzle pieces.)
