I’m just wondering. How many on here are long term survivors or ILC without recurring?
this just gives everyone, including me such hope.

Love to al

    My mother was diagnosed with stage 3C ILC in 1998. She had 13 positive nodes and her tumour was 7 cm. She opted for a bilateral mastectomy and no reconstruction.She will turn 81 next month. No recurrences, local or distant.

    My mother in law was diagnosed with ER/PR positive breast cancer in the mid eighties. She had a unilateral mastectomy, chemo and tookTamoxifen for five years . No reoccurrence almost 40 years later. I'm hoping I do as well as she has.

    I was diagnosed with ILC in 2010, aged 48. The cancer was classed as stage 2 at that time. I had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiation and still take hormone therapy daily.

    I attribute my survival to the skills of my doctors, treatments and the grace of God.

    I am well today with no ongoing related issues. I still see my surgeon and oncologist yearly as well as having annual mammograms and ultrasounds.
