Hi there @laurie123. My cancer was different to yours, being ductal and not lobular, however, I've been a member of both this group as well as another for around six years, and one thing that crops up again and again is this. Follow your own gut....be your own advocate...and don't let someone's in a white coat fob you off. Most, if not all of us have had scans of one sort of another before surgery. MRI scans and CAT scans as well as bone scans and more prior to surgery. An ultrasound or mammogram is a starting point, but I personally would push for what you feel necessary to set your mind at ease. As you say, lobular is a sneaky bastard as it often does not form a discernible lump and can be spread further than thought, or may even be hiding in the other breast. I don't think it will do your already fragile mental health to spend each day (and night) worrying if there's more than is known at this point. Follow your gut and is surgery is delayed by a day or two...so what. If there is more somewhere else and is not found, the consequences would be rather more important than mucking up this knife jockey's schedule. Good luck and big hug...Ally.
