Thx! @arpie
I have joined the ILC and Reconstruction group two months ago and had a read through them, and got some good info. I have also listened to Charlotte Tottman and Liz O'Riordian, the breast surgeon who got breast cancer. She had lobular and ductal on the same breast, and the chemo only worked on the ductal, she also had a recurrence on same breast in scar tissue (had mustectomy with implant). and decided not to do chemo again as it didn't work for her the first time round, instead she had radiotherapy, which had it's own issues.
I took the checklist to the surgeon and she had no time to look at it or listen, this was a month ago.
I might take it in again before surgery. as it's a public hospital, there are always breast nurses around and have been kind and talked to me.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar situation to mine and could comment from experience?
Maybe I should post this in reconstruction group as well?
