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

Thanks so much for your reply - a friend was diagnosed with ILC 8 yrs ago at age 49yrs and she went for double mastectomy but so much has changed and I understand that lumpectomy seems to be recommended. My MRI came back showing nothing in left breast. I meet with surgeon tomorrow and Thurs and hope to soon have more info to share. Takes a village -

I was diagnosed with lobular breast cancer almost four years ago. I was also triple positive and because I was Her2+, I had to have chemo.
I had a lumpectomy with clear margins, and radiation. My healthy breast was always clear.
Here I am four years later and doing very well. Hope this helps. ♥️
Sue Ellen, how did the meeting with your surgeon go?

That is what they told me, mastectomy used to be standard but a lot changed. I know lobular can hide so I sometimes get nervous about that but it can hide even with a mastectomy so who knows. So personal and so hard. Ask all your questions because you need to feel secure with your decision! That is what matters most.
