Do they usually do a lumpectory op for invasive lobular carcinoma at early stages?

REPLY

They did for me in 2019. Then followed by some radiation and pills to lower my estrogen. I'm not so sure that I wouldn't opt for complete breast removal to avoid the radiation.

REPLY

I did the breast removal since the margins weren’t coming back clean. That way I didn’t need radiation.
