jolie's surgeon and is not treating wilson. >> i tell women you have been with your breasts every day since you were born. if you think something is new, changing, or just wrong, you should persevere. you have to be responsible for getting the proper screening. and when bad dig know ses happen to you, you need to take the responsibility. sometimes that involves a second opinion. >> reporter: wilson says i hope this will encourage others to get a second opinion and trust their instincts if something doesn't feel right. and joining us is abc news senior medical contributor dr. jennifer ashton. rita had invasive lobular cancer. tell us what that is. >> we talk about breast cancer. it's like saying we're going talk about the weather. are you talking about a heat wave or a snowstorm? lobular refers to the part of the breast anatomy where the
8:17 am
abnormal cells started. people shouldn't get too bogged down. this particular type which starts as lcis those are the letters, it's a marker lesion. it tells us watch out, this person is at high risk for developing invasive lobular cancer at some time in the future. anywhere in either breast. >> sit difficult to diagnose? >> any type of cancer can be. we're trying to reconcile what we see on an imaging test to what a pathologist sees on a slide. >> it's so surprising to hear how often diagnosises differ. >> in an ideal world, it shouldn't happen. but doctors are human beings. we make mistakes. we never want to. it's more likely to have a diagnosis downgraded. saying it was cancer and then

downbraided. we take a specimen out of the body sometimes in the case of a breast tumor, it might be like a marble. the pathologist takes it and slices it. they look at the slices and slides. when you put your eyes on a mike microscope microscope it's not like a neon sign flashes up cancer. this is a skilled thing. >> with that said should we just always get a second opinion? >> no because that's not necessary. it's not logistically feasible. and again, you want to trust your instinct. if you feel uncertain. don't hesitate. you're never going to offend anyone. in many hospitals, taking about breasts, it's common for two pathologists to look at every spescimen specimen. it happens at so many hospitals. >> so many women and men will have questions for you. you're available. dr. jen ashton will take your questions throughout the morning. tweet her @drjashton.
