I was diagnosed with LCIS and hyperplasia 4 years ago. It was found incidentally with a pet scan and missed by mammogram and u/s. I know it's harmless although I did have a lumpectomy and I go for annual mammogram and ultrasound. There is a lump that they biopsied 2 years ago and it's harmless scar tissue. I couldn't feel the lump personally.
My question is if LCIS doesn't show up why do we do follow ups? Also I have lost Approximately 7 kg in last 6 months for no reason. With that I can now see the lump that was biopsied and can also feel a hard lump under the nipple.
Am I right to assume it's more scar tissue as you wouldn't feel LCIS?
Also did anyone grow a hard lump after lumpectomy?
