LCIS: What treatment(s) did you choose?

My doctor enlisted me into a breast cancer group. I have a mammogram and discuss with radiologist immediately. Six months later, I have an MRI, and again, immediately talk with radiologist. This team of doctors only deal with breast cancer. Come to find out, this “suspicious “ group of cells that warranted a biopsy, has been there since 2019. No radiologist had suggested it needed any kind of attention. Needless to say, I was shocked.
Because my doctor is a breast oncologist, I’m trusting her suggestion of wait and see. If any changes occur, I will be going for a bilateral.

I too had LCIS stage one. I was “lumpy” for years. After annual mammograms for years 50-61. Talk over the results with my internist started things rolling - I had a second opinion who wanted me to wait - Onco/surgeon. I went to talk to an oncologist who asked to an mri - which was went the extensive nature of my tumor “field” was found. I had more than a few Tumors in each breast, one side invasive. That was found after the Bil Mx. So I appreciate that it is very difficult to visualize these tumors. That was when I decided having the bil mastectomy made the most sense of all the choices and I am glad I did it.
