Lobular Breast Cancer: Let's share and support each other

Have you had genetic testing to see if you have genetic predisposition to cancer? Just curious? I had that done 1.5 years ago and found I was check 2 positive (increased breast cancer risk). Just received biopsy results following multiple 3D scans, ultrasound and biopsy results show:
Atypical lobular hyperplasia bordering on lobular carcinoma in situ in a background of slightly fibrotic breast tissue. Negative for atypical ductal hyperplasia, DCIS or invasive carcinoma.
Pathology is high risk and concordant. Breast surgical consultation is advised.
I’ve got a breast specialist who has been following me since genetic testing was done and he definitely wants to do lumpectomy. I worry if that’s enough???
Thankful this is not cancer, but want to get a step ahead if possible. I hope you get answers for your situation. Let’s share notes.

SOOOOOooooo appreciative that you took your personal time to respond. YES...I am VERY thankful at this point it is NOT cancer as I KNOW some of the hell others have been and are going through but I too am like you and want to get a step ahead of it IF at all possible because once that rotten cancer grows it never stops!!! My specialist said that we should go ahead and remove what they say (only the size of a walnut so I know I am much luckier than most) so they can do a full pathology analysis on everything they removed. As that let's wait and see IF what you have grows more and then we can always remove it just scares me. I feel like a ticking time bomb just waiting and wondering if it is turning into cancer while we are waiting to see :(. It is good to hear that someone else wants to stay a step ahead like I do. THANK YOU again for your input and I HOPE NOTHING but the BEST for you!!
