Hi Tanya, I has invasive lobular also my diagnosis was July 2012' before I found the lump I was excessively tired in bed at 8 some nights , went to drs bloods done but all good, then on hols I found the lump but didnt let on as i didnt want the holiday ruined! Surgeon said let me know how you feel later about the tiredness, well for me no chemo post pathology results but had radiation for 30sessions. I had 1month of work post surgery as mine was high in the breast and under arm making movement difficult and I had severe cording (like a pulled muscle) I had lymph node removal also. I had radio each morning and drove to work because of my sheer stubborn streak but honestly was only tired the last week. Ive had quite a few issues post radio as far as lymphodema goes.I'm now on tamoxifen and yes I'm tired but its different its more I don't want to sleep rather than I want to sit more. I still find it hard to not be as whirlwind as i was lwish I'd been a bit kinder to myself as far as taking time of work, and at home but that's my personality I won't give in. Maybe that's good maybe not. We do what we think is right at the time and its no good to regret later, hope that's a help. Regards adean
