Hi Lcjames and welcome. Im so sorry that you are going thru this. There is alot of info here and great support. There is a under 30 thread and a thread for ilc. Yes you can get rwconstruction and there is lso mny threads on that subject. When you find a breast surgeon also talk to some plastic surgeons and see wht they suggest. I was 42 at diagnosis and had a bmx nd my ps put tissue expanders in during that surgery. You are probably going to have some scns to see how big and where it is before a surgery is planned. Good luck

hi, I understand this is a huge shock. Check in with your primary doctor for support until you get your test results. And get emotional/counselling support if you can.

The good news is you have found this excellent place for information and support. So many will be here with you.

Keep posting and we can share our experiences with you.

lc, if it grew that much since your biopsy Friday and became hard I believe you may have a hematoma from your biopsy and need to contact the doctor.

I'm really sorry about your diagnosis.

I am so sorry...contact your primary doctor or Gyn to refer you to a breast specialist and tell them this, the BS will probably see you soon.

Mostly reconstruction is included by the insurance. The BS usually have a team and when they have your insurance card ask them to find out everything for you.
