    Hi All, I'm also looking for long term survival stories to give me hope. My older sister was diagnosed with ILC in October. After Ultrasound, MRI and MRI guided biopsy they realized that her tumor is multi focal ( about 5.5 cm ) or it could be larger. They are scheduling her for surgery ( double mastectomy) . Her stage at this point is either 2B or 3A depending on lymph nodes involvement. Her MRI didn't show any lymph nodes involvement but they would know that for sure once they do sentinel node biopsy during surgery. Her doctor said they since tumor is fairly large it's high likely that lymph nodes are involved. I'm trying to be there for my sister but I'm also scared so I can use some positive survival stories
