@alegrianna I agree 2/ you in being tired before my diagnosis of ILC 2b ( b usually means it has spread to a lymph gland(s) OR in my case a large swath of tissue being ILC ) in late May 2025 after a breast reduction (38 DD to 38 BB) in early April 2025. I was referred to the Cancer Clinic in Ottawa in June and met w: a surgeon who basically gave me all the options —from doing nothing to double mastectomy. I chose a double mastectomy w/o any reconstruction and had that on June 7. I was only offered AI (aromatose inhibitors) but declined any of them because of BOTH potential side effects and the low possibility of ILC returning after total removal of breast tissue. I just turned 78 and am in otherwise good health. Please keep in mind that it is YOUR decision as to what you do regardless of what friends, etc. may say. Good luck!

@alegrianna I’m 79 and had DCIS 24 years ago: 2 lumpectomies, 30 fractions of radiation. Now ILC and surgeon recommended a mastectomy AND reconstruction. I said no thanks! That was last January.
I finally learned this week that it’s stage 1. Thank God I listened to the radiologist who performed the biopsy who said ‘just wait and be retested.’ He saved me a lot of stress, grief, and surgery!
Of course that was a personal decision and not one to be made lightly w/o rigorous research. Each diagnosis is unique. Blessings to ALL.
