Thanks for the welcome. I’m not happy to find myself part of this group again but grateful for the support and access to information. I was diagnosed with a ducal BC in 2006 and was diagnosed with a lobular BC in the same breast last month. I’ve had another lumpectomy in the right side and have started hormone blockers - yea another 5+ years of those! Now letting things settle before deciding what’s next.I used BCNA for support last time and found it very useful.1

Pop your story in the 'newly diagnosed' category @PrisMay1 ... it will once again become a bit of a 'diary' of your treatment xx.
You may even find it interesting to go back & read your old posts (I am guessing in a different name?)
We also have a private group for Lobular BC - feel free to join that one too if you like .... we try & put latest developments with Lobular there, for members to read xx
Take care & all the best0
