Hi everyone, this is my first time on here and I've been reading everyone's stories and comments. What an amazing bunch of people that are here. Having read so many stories has encouraged me to post...

Hi @KezzaG I'm another lobular BC person and my diagnosis was similar to yours. It's a very sneaky cancer and most of us are shocked to find how extensive the tumours actually are once they are removed. I had a double mastectomy as well--the 'good' boob wasn't, so I'm glad I went for that option as it probably saved me more grief later. Which is a weird thing to say--glad I decided to get my tits lopped off--but you do get over the initial horror of it all. I have had a recurrence, but I'm pretty sure things would have been worse if I'd fiddled about with my treatment in 2006.
So, I'm still going 12 years after first finding I had cancer. None of this is pleasant and I'm sorry you find yourself here, but keep plodding along and you will get through the treatment stage on step at a time. Moving on afterwards presents it's own set of challenges for some of us, but first things first. Good luck Mxx
