Lobular Breast Cancer: Let's share and support each other

I just finished treatment for this same thing, although my tumor was smaller. The “invasive” makes it scary sounding but as you said, it had just spread a bit outside lobule. I had a quite easy lumpectomy followed by radiation. I didn’t need chemo bc lymph nodes were not involved. Everyone told me it was extremely curable and not to panic, so I didn’t and it turned out ok. Honestly, other than some mental anguish anyway, it went smoothly and I feel safe putting it behind me. I have faith that Mayo did what was needed. I am 66 so perhaps a much younger woman may need more aggressive treatment. I’m on an AI for 5 years which I’m not fond of, but just started it and I’ll stop it if I have trouble. I realize I was a lucky one and do not mean to make light of cancer or the severe things some women go through. Just trying to give some hope.

I, too, had good results with this cancer--radiation with zero ill effects. Took Letrozole for 5 years and am doing great. I wish you the same good luck.
