Again: is it cancer or not?

I just read an article on the InteliHealth web site about DCIS. It addressed the question of whether or not it's "really cancer." What I had was LCIS, the difference being one is ductal and one is lobular. The article was about ductal and suggested that maybe we shouldn't even be calling it cancer.

What I understand from the doctors I've seen over the last few months is that lobular is even less worrisome than ductal. However, the oncologist I spoke to said that they know so very little about LCIS that they really can't educate us too much about it.
