@mimi09 How do I find Dr. Emanuel exactly?
Did you mean you are the one in flip flops?..lol
I found it interesting what treatments you are agreeing to receive, and the ones you do not want. I am going to look up DCIS and ILC. Not familiar with those "terms." Do they only refer to breast cancer?
Thank you for any information you have time to share. Blessings 💕

@nannybb yes in her sandals or flips because my story is different from her in some aspects so I really am not standing in her shoes.
In 2002, DCIS -Ductal Carcinoma In Situ- was early stage cancer. Lumpectomy, margins not clear, second lumpectomy, 30 fractions of radiation. Easy peasy except for the decision making stress.
Clear sailing through every mammo from 2002 until 2024 when same breast nipple inverted and there was slight discharge. That was diagnosed as Invasive Lobular Carcinoma. I was 78 and doc wanted to do mastectomy and reconstruction.
That's when I'd had enough because I was also being divorced by my husband after 57 years. I researched, prayed, talked, questioned, listened then made my decision. Nothing thanks until I was totally convinced of the ate that was right for me.
Google Dr Ezekiel Emanuel, wiki as a start. Then just keep reading...
