    Thanks for posting this. It had good info, clearly presented. A rarity these days. For example, I knew of the HRT-BC connection, but didn't know that HRT is specifically linked to ILC.

    It was also nice that the article highlighted the patient-doctor partnership in this effort. I would like to see more of that. Patients ought to be heard more and often have different insights than the doctors have. I know many people here have called for exactly the kind of research described in the article, i.e. breaking patients into sub-groups according to hormone treatment pre- and post-cancer.

    Call me crazy, but I sent this to my gyno and my PCP. ;) Told them to place in my file.

    (Because they order colonoscopies and vaginal ultrasound-- US I do because of Tamoxifen -- but they need to understand that these tests are critical for ILC, due to where it can spread.)

    ;) I'm sure they love me.
