Thank you for sharing that.
Since size shown on MRI is 1.3 cm, the oncologist and surgeon I’ve seen so far recommend lumpectomy + radiation. At 71, I’m a little concerned about mastectomy being a much more major surgery (plus the reconstruction). But I had lumpectomy in other breast in 2022 (atypical ductal hyperplasia-no cancer found) and have had microcalcifications showing in past three mammograms in left breast-but in completely different place than the ILC. So I also wonder if I opt for lumpectomy/radiation now, am I going to be going through this again in a few years.

The book looks interesting but seems a little dated (?)

Update: I found an updated version of the book (12/2025) but had to purchase from the publisher, EduCare Publishing. Ordered it today 😊
