Pleomorphic to be added as a choice under diagnosis

Anonymous · December 2009

I wonder if it would be a consideration to have pleomorphic added in the diagnosis area of profile. The area where it asks what type of breast cancer you have. It seems as though this is a newer term that is being used, but as they find out more about it, PLCIS and PILC may be seen more and more often. I have just recently been diagnosed with both, and it is very scary to think you have such a rare type of breast cancer, when in fact there may be more women diagnosed with it then it appears.

Thanks for your consideration of this.

Not a bad idea but think it could be very confusing. There are pleomorphic calcifications as well as pleomorphic IDC (also rare) which is totally different from PLIS .

Formykids,

I igree that being able to add pleomorphic in our profile would be very helpful to women who have been dx'd with this.

I've been thinking the same thing. My pathology report said differential diagnosis of DCIS or pleomorphic LCIS. It would be good to see other postings from people who have the same diagnosis.
