Has anyone been told they have more than one type of cancer or perhaps more than one grade in the lump?
I had an "excellent" mammo last year and now have 3 lesions in the left and 1 lesion in the right. My BS only biopsied one lump and it is grade one, very slow growing, but I have so many masses....I don't get it. She said maybe there might be more than one type. I am 32 years old, but my breast tissue is not dense, so if the cancer was there, it should have been seen--yeah?

I had grade II and III IDC, DCIS, and LCIS all in one tumor in left breast and nothing showing in the right. After a bilateral mastectomy, they also found DCIS and LCIS in the right breast! So I was glad to get them off! |

Yep, IDC/DCIS in one lump at 12 o'clock and the 2nd one was ILC/LCIS at under the nipple area, but against the chest. Both were ER/PR pos and Her2 neg. It's multicentric and multi something else? Hard to find info on it. For treatment, they go by the largest lump (I think considering that it's been growing the longest). wishiwere

Wo that just adds a whole new level of confusion to the mix don't it? Did you have chemo or rads? My BS estimated the the lump that was biopsied (sp?) to be 3cm. It seems big to me.

You can have more than one type of bc. They are not always the same grade or type. Staging is done by the largest lump. multifocal means more than one tumor site, multicentric means more than one quadrant. good luck. Dx 10/10/2007, Paget's, , Stage , Grade 3, / nodes, ER+/PR+, HER2+ |
