LCIS & Biopsy

anrav

Hello. I was diagnosed with LCIS and atypical lobular hyperplasia last December 2015 and had the areas excised. This was all from my baseline Mammo as I had just turned 40. I have since been taking tamoxifen starting in March 2016 and have been alternating between MRIs and Mammo/Sono. I had the MRI in July which the results showed another area they wanted to biopsy which came back clear. I go this Friday for my first Mammo after this whole ordeal and I am nervous that I will have to have another biopsy. Is it possible for the Mammo to come back clear since I am taking tamoxifen? I am curious what others have experienced. I feel like this has consumed my life over this past year. I'd love to hear from others what they have experienced. I have read almost every post out on this board and you are all remarkable women. Stay strong.

anray---yes, it is entirely possible for the mammo to be clear; your MRI was clear, so it is probably likely this will be as well. Best wishes.
