To kiez53 @kiez53

I have ILC with pleomorphic in situ.
I had lumpectomy and no chemotherapy was used as the pleomorphic was in situ and my Ki -67 was in low range of 7-10. Was + only for ER and PR.

I had read prior someplace that chemo does nothing for this. He was going to do chemo and then called back and said no.

I had the same experience with the surgeon saying chemo first to shrink a 3.1 cm tumor. The next week the oncologist said chemo tends not to work. (50%) at most, so the plan went to Letrosole and Ibrance, then a CT scan and if that is clear, lumpectomy. We haven't gone beyond that step. The Ibrance is because the Ki-67 is so high...

Thanks so much for responding. Did you have radiation after the lumpectomy?
