Hello friends,
I am 76 years old and was diagnosed with LBCB stage 2, oestrogen positive, 2 years ago. I had lumpectomy and 5 sessions of radiation. No metastasis to lymph nodes.. what Im interested to know
If anyone’s pathology results also showed 0- E Cadherin.
No one in my heath team raised this issue but according to my ‘research’ in various medical reports says that lack of this protein (e-Cadherin) is a major issue with LBC..
It’s so good that all of us are doing our own research and asking question.

Hi! @otas:

I am so sorry for what you've been through, and my heart and prayers go out for you upon reading your post!

Thanks for this valuable information and for posting this important question! Unfortunately I am not a medical professional, but I am aware of the fact that E-cadherin is a protein essential for maintaining cell-cell adhesion and the overall integrity of epithelial tissues. It acts as a tumor suppressor, preventing cells from growing and dividing too rapidly. Please bring up this issue with your care team, because lacking of this protein can cause serious implications in cancer treatment plans. If your current care team can not (or will not) address this issue, please seek out a 2nd opinion for your best treatment plan.

Best wishes on the journey ahead, for our prayers are with you along the way!
