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.

I have LCIS in both breast. And Atypical ductal hyperplasia in my right. I had a lumpectomy in both and thankfully it all came back clear. I haven’t seen an oncologist and no one has recommended that to me. They are wanting me to start Tamoxifen in March. I am concerned with all the side affects. I will be having a mammogram and MRI once a year. I feel lost as to what I should do.
How are you doing ? Did you end up starting the tamoxifen?

Thank you for responding to me. I go see the surgeon on Sept 19th. I have so many questions. Did you see a doctor that specializes in LCIS? My biopsy was both breast and it was found in both.
