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

Hi,
I had lobular TNBC cancer stage 2B
I had chemo, masectomy, radiation, xeloda and zomeda for my treatment. I am almost to the five year mark.
I was 67 at the time and I live in Canada so that was the protocol at that time
Thinking of you and sending a big hug.

Congratulations and continued wishes for good health!
I had the same treatment chemo, right mastectomy, radiation. Diep flap reconstruction which went well. My cancer was originally ER+ but mutated to TNBC. I was on all estrogen blockers ( anastrozole, Letrozole, Tamoxifen and Raloxifene ) but stopped the first 3 due to intolerance. During routine check up after reconstructive fat grafting I was found to have new lymph nodes on the contralateral side. Biopsies and further imaging revealed stage 4 disease to lung ( pleural effusion) and liver nodes. I am taking a study drug which is an androgen blocker as my tumor has always been AR +. The hypothesis is that if estrogen blockers helped ER+ cancers and maybe even reduced the ER pleomorphic parts of my tumor, perhaps Androgen blockage may have similar effects? I still feel absolutely fine and symptomless and I pray and do all sorts of alternative things too.
Thank you for your response and God bless !
