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

Posted by mjay @mjay, Jul 28, 2022

Since lobular breast cancer is only 10-15% of all breast cancer diagnoses and now understood to be a unique subset of breast cancer as a whole with different characteristics than ductal breast cancer necessitating different treatments and inherently different risks, I would like to see a separate category under the breast cancer forum so that the most appropriate info is being disseminated for this specific subset of BC. Just a thought.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 lobular 28 years ago after being told for 3 years that the lump was just a cyst since no cancer evident on mammogram. More women need to know about this cancer type & doctors need to be more aware too. After diagnosis I had mastectomy, chemo & radiation. Then participated in several clinical trials for estrogen blockers. It’s been rough, but I’m still kickin’! Stay positive, question your doctors, find a different one if you’re not comfortable (I did). You can handle this!
