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!

@sybille: May I suggest the tumor was likely 11×15 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!
