Today I was told by a surgeon that I have. LCIS. I also had a uterine polyp come back with abnormal cells during a D&C last week. My GYN wants me to take Depro Provera. My understanding that medication might lead to breast cancer. I do not understand what my doctors are saying. Any information is helpful.

    Dear Dek62:

    I agree with you that I would not want to take any hormones. 

    When were you diagnosed with LCIS?  Do you have a Medical Oncologist?

    I would ask your MO for a recommendation on treatment.  I am assuming that all of the abnormal cells were removed during the D & C.  I would think that you will be closely monitored by your gynecologist. 

    Good luck.
