Dear nonkyboy there's much support and wise guidance on this site.There will also be much on your journey from those who will be helping you along the way. I felt cocooned by kindness thru diagnosis , surgery and radiotherapy - the bcna kit was a good start for me as information allayed some of my fears. At this moment for me the greatest support is talking and reading about others in the same boat and knowing I'm not alone hence this online chat is a lifeline.Many women have and are taking this journey with us and are continuing to live happy lives afterwards and that I need to remember when I get down.As regards treatment until the biopsy is done after surgery nothing is definitive .I had lobular cancer grade 2 and er+ similar to your own - I had a lumpectomy with a sentinel biopsy followed by another op to widen the surgical margin because of what the post op biopsy revealed and it was clear then radiotherapy which is to be followed by hormone therapy soon - aromatase inhibitors for 5 years.I did not have to have chemotherapy as they believe it was contained to the breast and had not spread.As I have osteoporosis and AIs cause fractures I also need a bone builder like prolia. I am 63 post menopausal and still have kids at home twin boys aged 16.
