Newbie - Intro

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🌺

Dear @Haiz,

from jennyss in Western NSW

Thank you...I've had my meeting with oncologist and super lucky and glad I don't need chemo. 

Hi @Haiz ... Welcome to the Club that no-one ever thought they'd join ....  We have lots of information on many different aspects of Breast Cancer .... don't be afraid to put up any question that you think of - there are no 'silly' questions ..... 

I am so sorry to hear of your Mum's passing from BC .... and hope you are recovering well from your surgery xx. I hope your Onc meeting was productive & that you don't need chemo ....

I had a lumpectomy for Invasive Lobular .... followed by radiation & Hormone tables (I am coming up to 5 years since detection.) I was lucky not to need chemo.

Make haste slowly - and look after yourself - plenty of time to consider the reconstruction (you could join the reconstruction group, if you'd like to talk with those who've gone before you. xx )

take care
