Lobular breast cancer just diagnosed
Hello everyone, I'm new to this , I've only found out about my diagnosis one week ago and been going through a lot of testing over the week. I'm waiting on results of MRI on breasts, I had yesterday but wont find out anything till Monday afternoon. Also on Monday early morning I will have a pelvis CT scan to look at my liver as the liver function test is up. I have (so far) been diagnosed with one lump in left breast about 5 cm and smaller one but deeper in right breast. I've seen my specialist and he said they are Lobular and that they can't be treated with chemo. I see him again on Monday avo, I'm quite scared. He didn't seem to think my lymph nodes were swollen under my arm, but he wasn't sure. Does anyone here know if the breast MRI with contrast that I had yesterday will show up if the lymph nodes are affected? Can anyone tell me if they have or have had Lobular breast cancer? My specialist isn't the talkative kind and I can't help worrying. Hope someone can reach out to me I feel so alone as I know Lobular is more rare than the other types.
Another newbie here - going through the process! and travel plans??
I’m sure life likes to create a few bumps to see how you cope! This one can be my last!! So 48 and had a routine mammogram and ultrasound on 9/3/18 - only booked day prior after having referral a few weeks, more concerned with my B12 deficiency. Had biopsies same afternoon and long wait for results until late following Wednesday and Surgeon booked next day. All fast and surgery last Monday 26/3/18. Back to Surgeon today and in for more surgery to ensure clean margins tomorrow. I have lobular type - still getting my head around this and look like with need hormone therapy. Referrals for radiation etc. being done today so the wheels are still turning. Trying to be positive and treating as a process _ but seeming a big one right now!
Scared and confused
Hi my name is Helen. I was recently diagnosed with a Grade 2 lobular cancer on my left breast. Sentinel node biopsy confirmed 1 node was involved and tumour size was 12.7cms at time of surgery. So disappointed because neither scan, or ultrasound picked up the size. Just had double mastectomy and auxiliary clearance came back clear. CT scan was clear as was the bone scan.Will be starting chemo soon, followed by radiotherapy.Just wanted to hear from anyone who has had a similar diagnosis. Need reassurance because very upset at the moment. Just turned 50!
