Hi there
I also had lobular cancer ( it’s tater than ductal) , hormone positive , I am 64 (62 at diagnosis).
My tumour was big , grade 2 but slow growing and nothing in my lymph nodes.
My oncologist said chemo was not recommended but radiotherapy was.
I am now on hormone therapy for at least 5 years.
Everyone is different and your treating team will tailor a treatment programme just for you .
I had double mastectomy too and delayed reconstruction - when you get to think about that stage the private group on here “ choosing breast reconstruction” is very helpful .
Also there is a lot of useful info on this website and the forum is a place where you can post any questions - we all “ get it” in a way someone who hasn’t been though breast cancer never really can .
Take care🌺
