Triple positive invasive lobular carcinoma
Hi everyone Having been diagnosed February 2025 I have had surgery and now have my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist this week. My surgeon chose not to do neoadjuvent treatment . This is...
Thankyou so much for your response, I understand maybe why now. Mine did not appear as a lump and was that sneaky kind of sheet in my breast.
My surgeon mentioned radiation X 3 weeks and chemo+ targeted therapy then the five year tablet, so I guess pretty similar in ways.
I guess the panic is the HER2+ and my head just wants something to stop it immediately, but I will find out tomorrow soon enough.
Thanks so much again
You are very welcome- yes that makes sense if you had the classic “sneaky” ILC.
HER2 positive and being ILC puts us in the small subset of a small subset! Might be helpful to check (if they haven’t told you) whether you have dense breasts when you have a good discussion tomorrow.
I understand the focus on HER2 posi I took comfort from the research trials that have been done over recent years and the work done (salute to BCNA) to provide greater access for us to HER2 positive targeted drugs. Treatment has really evolved leading to some very effective and targeted treatments.
Hope you go well.
