Hi @kiwisandy sending you positive thoughts as you go through the whirlwind that precedes treatment.
As you can see from @@arpie post there’s amazing kindness and support on this network and it’s really useful to have access to the experience of so many people who are managing their way through.
I was a bit late coming to the network but have found a lot of useful information, about lobular cancer and the different treatment regimes for different subtypes of breast cancer. I joined the Triple Positive group and the Invasive Lobular group. We are a small band!
The treatment phase will settle you into a rhythm and I’ve noticed a few tips that some of the members have posted like: write down the discussions you have about what treatment protocol you’ll follow and if you can get copies of your pathology reports for your safekeeping it’s useful later.
In view of you having invasive lobular cancer (ILC) I would ask your surgeon or oncologist if the results say you have dense breasts, or not.

There’s a great ABC story about ILC that Arpie posted https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E8QzL2uDNv8
There are some threads up here already about preparing for chemo and in the Triple Positive Group there’s a bit of a discussion about the HER2 targeted drug treatment and how people have found it.

Getting a port was a good thing for me- mine went into the inside of my right arm just below the bicep.
I hope you’re travelling well, it is incredibly humbling how caring our family, friends and colleagues are and I found that very comforting.
I completed my treatment in April and looking back I can only say it was a team effort. Sending you big virtual hugs and positive vibes 🌻🌼🌸
