LCIS was diagnosed through core needle biopsy in 2021. Watch every 6 months.
was surgeon’s suggestion in. April. No other options mentioned.
Yesterday the radiologist came out to talk to me after the mammogram and said her training indicates Surgery and then tamoxifen as the way to go.
Mayo is the best so I am looking for answers.

I am glad you are looking for more information! If there is one thing I can really support it is getting informed. I am terrible at keeping track of links these days, but if you are thinking you would like a second opinion at Mayo there is a link for a request for appointment that I am sure another mentor could provide. @hopeful33250 or @johnbishop probably have it quite handy. They are amazing. Advocating for yourself is so important, especially when you are talking about cancer.
If not Mayo, are you close to a large center or teaching hospital?

@southgawalker, I'd like to add my welcome. I moved your posts to this existing discussion in the Breast Cancer support group.
- Lobular Breast Cancer: Let's share and support each other https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lobular-breast-cancer/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with other post-menopausal women who have LCIS who can share their treatment experiences.

This discussion will also be of interest to you I think:
- LCIS: What treatment(s) did you choose? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lcis-and-double-mastectomy/

Have you considered getting a second opinion?
