This tuff cookie is crumbling

Hi Melc503 The toughest of us crumble under this.  All I can say is the local mantra: breathe and take one step at a time.  You're probably still reeling and running through the full gamut of emotions.  I had ILC and started with a partial and sentinel node as it was expected that was all I needed (lobular is very sneaky, however).  I discussed it with the surgeon that unless indicated otherwise after surgery, that was the best.  Unfortunately, the path report for me indicated a mastectomy and axillary dissection.  But ductal is a different beast altogether and more than likely, that's all you'll need if the surgeon thinks so.  You'll know your path better once that path report comes back.  Let your family know you're struggling - you'll need their full support to get through this.  And tell a couple of key friends what's going on and ask them to be the gatekeepers of information so that you're not constantly getting flooded by well-meaning phone calls, etc and let people know that you don't want to be fussed over.  I have a blog that I keep updated and most of my friends read that.  
Come on here and talk to people if you need to - there's usually someone online as many of us don't sleep particularly well.
