Thanks for your reply. My LCIS in my right breast was discovered through mammogram. Since LCIS is not within my HMO ‘s guidelines for routine MRI, I figured that any follow up screening that would be offered to me, be it ultrasound or mammogram, would probably be less than optimal. I then decided to take the most aggressive approach to dealing with it, which was to ask for a double mastectomy. Post mastectomy biopsy of the breast tissue revealed that I had LCIS in the other breast as well. Thus, this shows that LCIS does not always show up on mammograms.

It sounds like you've been through quite an ordeal. I'm sorry your hand was forced due to insurance. Hoping your recovery is progressing well and that you have a support system. Best wishes.
