I was diagnosed with invasive,lobular carcinoma ,grade 2,stage 3, 10years ago.After a double mastectomy,I had a break for three weeks,after which I was on chemo sessions,once every three weeks,for four months,followed by radiotherapy with 15 sessions.Without chemo my chance of recurrence was 75-I have never heard of chemotherapy not working for lobular cancer.My tumor was 11cm across,15 cm long,nothing looked very promising.I have not had a recurrence since.
Chemo saved my life!

Thank u for this comment I’m going to send this post if u don’t mind to my 41 year old daughter for inspiration which her as well as myself and wife need desperately. We are just starting this journey. She was diagnosed few days ago and biopsy showed ILC 3 cm think lymph nodes ok but it has reached tissue . She lives in Washington state and we have heard good things about Fred Hutch cancer hospital and have a very good ranking like top ten. Now just trying to get the additional test required to move forward. Glad for you and thx for the post.

@sybille: May I suggest the tumor was likely 11x15 mm, not centimeters? It’s easy to get it wrong if you haven’t grown up with the metric system. 11 cm is over 4”, which seems unlikely. Great news that you have been cancer free since you experienced the diagnosis, and treatment, 10 years ago!
