Hi @Traynota I was diagnosed with invasive lobular in both breasts - extensive on left, minimal on right - in January but was allowed to wait until these school holidays to have surgery. It’s a really difficult carcinoma to detect and turns out I may have even had it for more than a year! I had a double mastectomy into air expanders on Saturday. One sentinel node was positive on the left side so I had a full axilla clearance on the left. No nodes on the right.
Still waiting on pathology and will more than likely need chemo and radio but will take each step one at a time. Truthfully the absolute worst part was waiting for the staging scan results. Whatever the outcome, knowing is so much better than not knowing.
