Well good luck with your surgery today. I had Lobular breast cancer diagnosis in 2012 and it was stage 1-2 where it was multifocal (meaning mutiple tumors , they were small , and only in left breast) I had a double mastectomy to be on the safer side due to lobular's slightly higher tendency to show up again or else where.... I did not have a good surgeon or health insurance (no coverage really for follow ups & costly appts. w/ sometimes only a nurse even though I was paying for an oncologist follow up... for my treatment . I had a reccurrence , the surgeon was very hyper and flippant and made light of finding a few cells in 2 left nodes' dissection & did not recommend radiation. Within these 12 yrs of trying my best to eat healthy ( no nitrates, very little red meat and a lot of veggies and nonestrogenic foods (NO soy--read all labels for like soy in salad dressings etc) and I do not drink but maybe wine or beer once a month or so...a glass. I m fortunate that I left the state where I had substandard care and have pretty consciencious thorough care now, but I have metastatic to bone and I do not know if this occurred because of radiation.

Hi
