LCIS: What treatment(s) did you choose?

Many discussions center around LCIS, which can be a precursor to breast cancer (any type and not just lobular) but not cancer itself.

Most LCIS is never found on its own through scanning opportunities but usually through a biopsy for another reason.

My pathology report shows LCIS which didn’t concern my surgeon but they did find ILC.

Not sure if this will help. Perhaps it’s best to gather more opinions. ♥️

Hello @lisakinpa ,

I have been diagnosed with atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH), which I know is only a marker for cancer, but I am getting a second opinion about whether it should be removed. I understand that you have been diagnosed with LCIS and was wondering if you had any treatment for it. It is written that your surgeon wasn't concerned, so what was recommended? I'm just trying to find out more information that would support the "wait and see if cancer pops up" approach, or if I should get it removed since cancer is at times found when ALH is removed. Thank you! @delormv

In 2013 I had bil Mx based in large part on decisions I made after MRI showed many more tumors. My bx showed ILC

I did not take tamoxifen because of the side effects and the stats did not show >17%
