Newly diagnosed invasive ductal and lobular in right breast

I had bilateral breast cancer 2 years ago. My left breast had ILC and IDC, Stage 1a, no lymph node involvement. Right breast had IDC, Stage 1a, no lymph node involvement. I chose bilateral mastectomy. My final pathology revealed A LOT! I had LCIS, ADH and DCIS!!! Two Onco DX tests were favorable, Score were 11 and 18. No chemo, no radiation, but I do take Anastrozole. I guess I would go with your gut, but Lobular can be tricky and if you have any of the other precursors a mastectomy might make you feel better. Surgery isn’t easy, neither is the Anastrozole, but I do have better peace of mind. Best of luck, you will get through this!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! My onco type score was 11 also. I opted for a single mastectomy and I know they will be scanning me constantly from here on out so I feel pretty confident in my decision. My recurrence rate was 3 percent. I am going to have symmetry surgery on my left side and reconstruction of the right in 2-4 months. I will be on a hormone blocker also. I’m not sure which one yet. I appreciate your positivity and your encouragement so much!!
