Just diagnosed with invasive lobular cancer

Thank you all so much for replying to my post and my apologies for not coming back to the blog sooner. I went to Sydney for my treatment as my Mum and sister have both had BC and I wanted to go to the same surgeon and oncologist. To my surprise, my surgeon recommended lumpectomy only, followed by 6 weeks of radiation. I had the lumpectomy and SNB via a peri-areolar incision, which caused a lot of swelling and bruising, in early March with a good pathology result as Stage 1A and need only radiation, no chemo then possibly Arimidex. My recovery was set back by the development of a DVT post-op, so it is taking a long, long time for the bruising to go as I am having to take Warfarin. Has anyone else had prolonged bruising in a similar situation ?? I am booked in for my "fitting" appointment for the radiation in 2 weeks time and am worried that the radiation will need to be delayed due to slow healing. I feel very much in limbo at the moment as I know the radiation is supposed to knock off any stray cells remaining after the surgery and I am wondering what the "stray cells" are doing while I am waiting. Sorry to sound so loopy, but the worry feels very real. Lots of hugs to all of you out there going through this horrible process. xxx.
