It's not cancer, but...

I have been dealing with a family history of breast cancer and what that means to me for a very long time now. I somehow knew something would happen, and it did. I have been diagnosed with LCIS. Lobular carcinoma in situ. Of course the first time the doctor called and told me what they found through my oh so uncomfortable core needle biopsy, all I heard was carcinoma. Turns out LCIS is merely a cancer indicator or cancer stage 0, as some would call it. Not a concern in itself. However, given my family history, and the fact that a later surgical biopsy found the LCIS has saturated the entire area, causes more concern, or so my surgeon states. I now have the daunting task of deciding future treatment for myself. At this point I think my options are prophylactic bi-lateral mastectomy with reconstructive surgery and a wait and see approach. Wait and see approach means MRIs, ultrasounds, mammograms and possible future biopsies. In my opinion, seems like a whole lot of waiting and searching for the inevitable cancer.
