Anyone else diagnosed with IDC & ILC, at the same time?

I just had first mammo/us 6months post radiation. Will be getting an MRI in the next month or so. After that, maybe I will have a definite f/u schedule. I am assuming every 6 months or yearly after that, but not sure yet.
@windyshores - I never saw the term mixed in the reports. The biopsy of the lump showed IDC, DCIS & ALH. There was e-cadherin loss documented in the path report. The mri I had showed another area under or behind the first tumor which was the ILC. The tubular score was 2. Did you also do lumpectomy and radiation? If so, how often do you follow up and do you have mammo, us, mri?

I am a year out post treatment (lumpectomy, radiation and Letrozole for ILC (1.8cm) and smaller IDC all in right breast. To be honest radiologist didn’t think higher risk even though having both. I did have radiation boost as ILC margins weren’t all that great. I’m asking to have MRI-6 month alternating Mammo as I have level C (heterogeneous density-only level D is more dense) but honestly my onco wasn’t recommending MRI but at 58 yrs old I was adamant and I will have MRI in late April which is about 6 months after mammo (which was a year since diagnosis). I think the more types of cancer makes it bit more risky but I didn’t get the feeling that my team at Dana Farber Boston would agree??
