Thank you for your response. I have an appointment with a surgeon in a little more than a week. I'm going to ask around town about her. I love my husband's oncologist and I don't know this surgeon that I have been referred to. I will be investigating everything. I'm already happy to have joined this group.

Like you, I love my husbands oncologist! When we need a referral we ask him who we should see. He is so gracious in always recommending the “A” team for us.
Dana Farber is a great place to be. I would think you are in good hands.
I remember it like it was yesterday, when I was waiting for the next step. Being terrified of what comes next. I am so sorry you are going through this. Once there is a plan in place and you have chosen your treatments, you should feel more empowered. Meanwhile, when I am in waiting mode, I like to take in a deep breath or two and blow them all the way out as forcefully as I can. This refocusing of my attention allows me to stop and be mindful of the moment.
There are quite a few conversations here with folks with lobular cancer, I would encourage you to visit them and connect with others there too. Lobular does have some differences and some similarities with ductal.
I am going to send prayers in the air for you, and would like to welcome you to the best club you never wanted to join.
Are you making a list of questions for your doctor yet?

Hi , sorry you're facing this and for the rest of us who is there or have been there.

I know the feeling of fear and helplessness and being lost in all that.....at first!! Its overwhelming to say the least. However, you will
conquer all of that with your strength and determination, and with the help of this board!Do your research, ask lots of questions ...you will get through this!! Please stay strong!

gpigford I love your wife's saying. I'm sending all of us lots of prayers🙏🏼 and warm thoughs!!!
