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

I think too much information too soon can be overwhelming. I recommend the Mayo Breast Cancer book for a good overview, if you need an overview. But even better, wait for more information on your cancer, especially the Oncotype Dx test.

I believe lobular DCIS is a precancer: that it is not yet invasive. (I also had mixed ductal and lobular but both were invasive).

If you are ER+ there is a good chance you will avoid chemo, depending on the Oncotype.

While you wait for info, I think distraction is the best strategy I also got a few Ativan from my doc!

Once you have details, and a treatment plan, you can move forward. Get as many opinions as you need to feel good about your plan.

Thank you for the advice. I am going to ask about the oncotype test- I don’t have this in my notes or pathology report. As of now I know its invasive lobular and invasive ductal on the left breast and DCIS on the right. Hopefully will have more answers and a plan soon.

I just was diagnosed with both lobular and ductal .
One is estrogen the other triple negative . I’m seeking second opinion wondering what is onco test used for and you think I should ask for this too? Dr wants me on estrogen pill asap . But I await second opinion before I decide.
