Hi @jules01,
Sorry to hear you've joined us. Making the step to post here takes courage, so well done. I too was diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer in April last year, 6 weeks prior to my 50th birthday. So your story resonates with me. Mine two had 2 tumours near each other, Grade 2 Stage 1. Fortunately my margins were clear following the lumpectomy. Preop my surgeon did warn me that further surgery may be required, which may be mastectomy. Thankfully that was not the case. Lobular is hard to see on a mammogram. Do everything you can to look after YOU! Rest when needed, go for walks or whatever exercise you enjoy, enjoy the sunshine....Ask your surgeon lots of questions. Also link up with a Breast Care nurse if you haven't done so already - mine is still so supportive. Good luck with everything!
