newly diagnosed

Hi, I'm writing this for a friend whose daughter just had surgery for LCIS. They just got the report back that there were a few small cells inside the tumor that were invasive. The Dr. said he had never seen this before. Is anyone familiar with this? They want to do a series of radiation treatments.

Thank you for any information, My friends wife just passed away recently from Her2 breast cancer and you can imagine how he is handling this.

Thanks, awb

So you are saying that it is unusual to find LCIS alone? It usually comes with some invasive cells?? They have recommended hormonal therapy also. It was a very small tumor they just happen to find when she had an emergency appendectomy. I think they found it when they did a scan.

It is very confusing reading about this cancer. One website said LCIS isn't always breast cancer. She has Lobular In Situ. The biopsy was cancer. She had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago. When the biopsy of the lump came back they found a few invasive cells inside. So can this be both or that means hers was invasive??? Her Dr. said he had not seen this before. They want her to do radiation and hormone therapy.

Whe she first had it done they told her she would not have any treatments at all. Now this.....

Thanks for any help...

I was told that everything was clear. I have been reading through the postings and this is a very confusing condition. I'm copying some of it and giving it to her sister. From what I'm reading she has a lot to consider.

Thanks
