Re: Invasive Lobular Cancer HER2+ve - anyone else?

My LVI was noted as absent. Went to the GP today to ask for further clarification of the report and he said LVI is indicative of possibility of local recurrence.

I actually freaked out a bit because when they described the margins taken they were only talking about the invasive tumour - I'm going "what about the extensive LCIS?!!!!!" have they got that as well. The doc said usually when they cut these things out they are a mess with sometimes more than 1 type mixed in. He said as it said "No involvement" re the margins they should have got it all. I certainly hope so.
