Hi... I have just been diagnosed (final biopsy pathology recived 2.28.23) with "pleomorphic lobular breast cancer with neuroendocrine features." HR+ Her2 neg. When I saw the oncologist he just scratched his head... and told us there is just no clear treatment protocol since it (PLIC) is so rare. Chemo works only 50% of the time on this goofball variant.
"Trickiest of the tricky" for sure... I started Letrozole last week and Ibrance probably tomorrow to see if we can shrink this 3cm invader. If next week's CT scan is clear, I will have a lumpectomy soon after, then, who knows? Ki-67 was ~70%...so this currently has free rein to run rampant. Hoping the Ibrance will put the brakes on this.
I am sorry your Letrozole side effects were unbearable. I am hoping my Celebrex keeps the aches and pains tolerable.
I feel like a walking experiment, but am confident in my surgeon and oncologist despite the initial head scratching.
Thanks for listening and for this "lobster" terminology. 🦞 So much easier to refer to a pleomorphic lobster. I wonder what it's neuroendocrine features are? Long eyelashes? Freckles??
