@holykrap0 ER+PR+ and HER2- is good news because you will be able to treat with anti-hormonal drugs (aromatase inhibitor). They will do an Oncotype test to determine benefit of chemo but if your ER+ PR+ are high you can hope to avoid it.
Lobular can be harder to detect, I was told. There is a doctor at Dana Farber who specializes in lobular- Otto Metzer MD- and he has a good video online if you can find it.
Ativan helps get some sleep which helps so much. I didn't use it much but it helped to know it was there. And yay for Netflix!
