Just diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC): Any advice?
Breast Cancer | Last Active: 8 hours ago | Replies (50)Comment receiving replies
Thank you everyone for your comments/support and knowledge. I have been diagnosed with ILC, classic type, grade 2. ER+ PR+ HER- and I actually have a lump which I know is unusually for ILC. I have my first appointment with the breast surgeon on Friday which as you all know will start to bring some kind of relief and hopefully a plan. Thank you once again.

How did your appt go with your surgeon? My ILC (just under 2cm) was partially picked up on a mammo and more completely presented on an MRI I had pre surgery. I'm happy your lobular was also found on mammo. I have very dense breasts and worry I should be getting MRI's but so far - one year out and I have one diagnostic mammo last week which was unremarkable. Keep us posted. I am 58 yrs old and treated at Dana Farber, Boston. xoxo

Hello Mrsth,
I had stage one lumpectomy 12 years ago. I knew what it was caused by. I had been hit in the chest years before witch caused the lump practically on my sternum. But I went through the process of radiation and taking Tamoxifen for five years. I did it because I wanted to have no doubt whatsoever. Nowadays Breast lumps and other issues ( I don't use the C word) have come a long way. So many strides have been made and so many issues now get resolved. Have confidence in your physician, that your issue will be totally resolved and that you will do well.
There's book I read when I was going through Chemo last year for something else. "The Dynamic laws of Healing" by Catherine Ponder. It's excellent information and I recommend it highly.
