Just diagnosed ilc

Mojojennijo · August 2017

so I'm away on vacation and my drs office just called me with resultsbof my biopsy.they said it was ilc.

This is all the info I was given today. So I feel like I know nothing. I see the surgeon again on the 5th and is having a bc navigator nurse call me.

You might want to go to the ILC Forum where you will get replies from other ILCers.

Hi Mojojennijo,

Sorry you are here, but welcome. Got the same dx in July. I researched but not all that much out there since ILC makes up only 15 or 20% of BC. This board has been a great resource. Once you get more info on what your prognostic factors are etc., you'll feel a bit more in control.

you are correct in there not being too much to google! Def knowing more atbmy appointment will help.

ILC Veteran here. Some things you will learn:

ILC does not necessarily present as,a lump, more like a thickness.
ILC is typically slow to grow
Dont be surprised if you end up having multiple tumors
ILC is a sneaky sucker and is not easily found on imaging

Some docs lump ILC with IDC. Find one that knows the difference.

Hang in there!
