I am currently 67 years old. When I was 49 I was diagnosed with LCIS. I was treated with tamoxifen for 5 years. At age 63 I was diagnosed with ILC. So, I wish I was a successful story, however, that treatment did not work for me. I hope this information will be helpful in your journey. Best of life to you.

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to the group and express my deep empathy regarding your recent diagnosis of LCIS. I personally was diagnosed with LCIS in February 2023 and subsequently underwent a stereotactic biopsy of my right breast. I had a nurse present in the room to help ease my anxiety, and the doctor showed great compassion throughout the procedure. Following the biopsy results, the doctor informed me that I needed to proceed to phase 2 of the process, which involved a lumpectomy with wiring. I understand that this can be an intimidating process. I received the results of the lumpectomy on July 31, and thankfully, the condition did not progress to DCIS. While Tamoxifen was recommended, the doctor decided to monitor me first before prescribing it.
