@Bettyboo, I feel for you but have confidence in your treatment and in yourself. I was diagnosed November 2017 with very large adjoined tumours invasive ductal (not lobular) with spread to nodes, 100% oestrogen positive. I am 73. Had single mastectomy, 20 nodes removed, half affected. Then 25 lots of radiation, now on Femara ( the non-generic Letrozole) and I am doing fine. There are lots of hiccups on the way but the hardest is your own mental state. You should have lots of loving support but it sounds like you are quite isolated and feeling scare and anxious. Yes, that's what feels worst of all but after my surgery and radiation was finished I went to a wonderful counsellor. Someone on this forum will always be able to reach out to you. I think older women have somewhat different issues than younger ones. Anyway be in touch anytime or send me a personal message. Your prognosis seems very good and there's every reason to confident that your treatment will be fine.
