Hi @annajjj - I'm so glad you found the forum - it has been the best support for so many of us! And well done on ringing the help line too - everyone is just so lovely!
The waiting really sucks .... I hope you get your surgery date soon. I was really spooked, leading up to the surgery - and was amazed at how good I felt immediately after it was over! Like a boulder has been lifted off you!
I was diagnosed with ILC back in early 2018 - we have an ILC group you can join if you'd like .... some interesting stuff is put on there, specific to ILC.
All the best for your surgery .... I hope you have lots of support at home too xx. Take care
