Awating Excisional Biopsy Results After LCIS Dx

Ladies: I am new here and have posted on LCIS board, as was diagnosed with this about a month ago. Now am awaiting results of excisional biopsy....Many days are okay, but for some reason am really struggling today. Being in limbo is so hard, isn't it? Part of LCIS for me is, even if this biopsy comes up clean, I'll need comprehensive risk assessment, and chemopreventive will probably be recommended. Lifetime risk high on both sides of body. Just don't know how I got here from being "perfectly healthy" a few weeks ago.

I guess it takes months for LCIS dx to sink in, as well as awaiting immediate results. Thinking of everyone else here with big hugs and needing a lot of them today!

    Hi Girl53:

    I had IDC, diagnosed at age 52. I am glad some days are okay for you. Waiting for results is extremely trying, and "limbo" is a good word for it.

    I also experienced the weirdness of going from "perfectly healthy" one day to person with DCIS/IDC. I have a family picture from about a month before diagnosis and it still makes my brain spin when I look at it two years later. Some get through treatment and only just begin to process things: "what just happened?" (Expletives deleted)

    Others here with LCIS will support you as you learn about preventive options, etc.

    Hoping for good results
