Lobular breast cancer just diagnosed

Hi All,

I haven't posted on here for a long time, I guess life just got in the way. But since I last posted I have stopped the exemestane hormone blocker as my memory was getting quite bad on it and now on Anastrozole which is a lot better( for me) , I still get hot flushes but I can handle them and memory fog but not as bad & hair loss too, but no aches.

I thought I was going well and keeping fit , eating well etc. but recently I had blood in my urine , so thought it was an ITU but have now found out it's not.

I've just got home from the hospital today after having found from scans that I have a blockage in the right urethra tube going into right kidney and I had to have a biopsy, the specialist thinks its an aggressive tumor by the looks of it ( which is very scary) and he will be removing kidney and urethra. 

I'm quite shocked as I only had slight discomfort and had no idea .They think it's been growing quickly for a couple of months.

Now hes put in a stent to by pass the urethra until results come back. It's so big he thinks even if its benign the whole lot will have to come out, but he's pretty certain that it's cancer.

I thought I'd be ok after having the double mastectomy last year , finding that it hadn't spread to the lymph nodes, but I was wrong. 

Although this might not be connected to the breast cancer.

I did what I shouldn't have done and googled about this type of cancer and wish I hadn't, it sounds grim.

Sorry to dump this bad news, I don't want to frighten others, he suggested this could be from smoking as I used to even though lightly and stopped completely about 28 years ago. I just don't know. :(

Anyway, it's good to be able to write this all down.

Good luck to everyone x
