I went for my annual mammogram June 2014. Two days later, I received a call to come back for extensive testing. I had a more extensive mammogram and the radiologist informed me he found calcifications. Had a needle biopsy on 6/23/14. I expected the worse but was hoping for the best since breast cancer runs in my immediate family. Received a call from the radiologist on June 24th. My oldest daughters 40th birthday and my late mothers birthday. I had LCIS breast cancer. I was sent to a surgeon on July 1st. Set up for a MRI on July 7th. Everything is happening so fast I haven't had time to absorb it all. Per my surgeon, he feels confident I will only need a lumpectomy with no follow up treatment. But now my chances are so high of cancer returning. I am researching a complete double masectomy. This may be the best solution for me. My whole life has been changed in less than a month. Wish me luck!!!!!
