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

This sure is a sneaky cancer! I also found what I thought was a lump, only to find out that the cancer was elsewhere in my breast and larger than I thought. I was fortunate in that I didn't have to wait for a mammogram, biopsy or diagnosis. I walked into the oncologists office blind. I knew nothing about the different types of cancer, how they are graded, what tests are done, and what test measured my possible outcome. I quickly learned! My suggestions on this journey are to rest when you need it, rely on others, eat well, and exercise when you can. I finished my last treatment 2 months ago and am bouncing back to my previous energy levels. Still nap occasionally though. Good luck and many prayers are going your way.

May I ask what your "treatments" were? I had a lumpectomy for ILC 11/30 and just found out negative node - very relieved! I'm 57yrs - 1.8 cm and grade 2 with margins positive for atypical which I guess is fine as surgeon said no need for additional surgery. Next appt in 2 weeks with a radiation oncologist and should have oncotype tests back by then. Did you get 2 opinions regarding radiation. I'm near Boston so I have a few options which is great but all so confusing as it the docs make it sound like it is very routine. I dread the anti hormone after reading about side effects but so glad to hear you are hanging in! Any advice appreciated. Thanks so much!
