Tina T - Thanks for the good wishes.

Ellie1959 - Posts like yours give me hope and scare me at the same time. It's amazing that your mom has been cancer free for 17 years. But so sad that you followed her with the same diagnosis. I look at my 19 yo daughter's breasts sometimes and just wonder what's going on in there. It's awful. Anyway, fabulous that you're NED at 5 1/2 years too.

sally. hope I make sense-------been up all night. I am a nurse and I choose to have a elective bmx  based on family hx, during the approval process BC was found. Please , please, seek Whippettmom /Deborahs advice- going through this process. I did not find her untill it was all done except nipples. Deborah can give you advice that most docs have't got a clue about. type , product size/

Not getting her advice ,I ended up with Foobs that are to big for my body size and pain for 2 1/2 years that I believe I didn't have to happen--------b/c the foobs were to damn big. plus I have to be seriously careful about LE, because the damn things are to big. I will go and bring her site back to you----------I was licesed in 1974----worked in teaching hospitals from 1974-till1988------------Operating room with 5 plastic surgeons---------sounds old school, Yes some techniques have changed, But Dboerah knows more about what to suggest than current  doc's Please listen to her advice

community.breastcancer.org/for...

tested it it works. Serious, we are the same age , have no clue how she keeps up with everyone.

 She is committed that if you get Foobs, you get the right size and type for you body

I told my doc exactly what I wanted and he gave almost 180 degrees opposite of what I asked for,

Debroha-----------is a guide that you will never find-------------ANYWHERE,

community.breastcancer.org/for...

tested link it works. Talk to wippetmom/ deborah ------------only for advice-------others are seeking advice, or can't let go of the site/thread b/c they just can't let go of Deborha. So , there are many others on the site/ thread, but is she that you need to talk too----------Sheila

I had multiple biopsies which had to be done by both US and MRI so the process took almost a month.  For several weeks I knew I had ILC and I really struggled to reach my decision for lumpectomy over mastectomy.  When my second cancer was found (DCIS in same breast) lumpectomy was no longer an option, but I easily came to the decision to do bilateral over unilateral MX.  My BS was very good about giving me the pros and cons of each, but seemed a bit relieved when I chose bilateral surgery.  At pathology I had multiple other areas of ADH that hadn't shown on mammogram, US, or MRI (oddly, still all in the same breast).  Even though all the pathology was in the same breast I felt really good about choosing bilateral surgery over unilateral.

Hello Ladies,

Pardon my reading your thread as I am an LCIS girl. May I use the ABC News link SAS recommended a few post back for the LCIS forum? It may be useful when LCIS women consider their options of watchful waiting or PBLM.

I would also like to invite you, though no invation is needed, to come visit us on the LCIS forum and post anywhere you would like.

We have a robust discussion going on about LCIS and it's relation to ILC. Whether ILC can show up without first originating from LCIS. I am a rare visitor here but as we're discussing ILC on the LCIS forum, I popped back in.

If I have overstepped in anyway here, I apologize in advance and will apologize specifically as needed, just let me know.
