Double lumpectomies in same breast

Just diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer and invasive lobular cancer in same breast. Planning on double lumpectomies in November. Seems like pathology report of margins comes back post surgery and theoretically one could need another surgery if margins are not clear. Is this right?

Thanks for sharing! May I ask which scan discovered your lobular? An MRI found my lobular as so many mammos throughout the years showed my dense breasts and after a few call backs and a fuzzy ultrasound I begged for an MRI which showed the 1.8cm ILC. At 57yrs, I too had a lumpectomy back in Nov 2022 and have my first post radiation scan tomorrow (one year after MRI which showed my lobular). I am getting a diagnostic mammo but with my dense breasts fear without an MRI the docs could miss something. I will circle back and yes my margins weren't great but they decided radiation boost (20 treatments) would address this. Keep us posted..xoxoxo
