Grade 2 breast cancer - going through further tests at present

Hello, 

I had 2 ultrasounds, on both they said it was just dense breast tissue and there was no concerns at all but one of the nurses said just as a precaution we should do a biopsy. The biopsy results came back and they said it’s grade 2 breast cancer, lobular. I went in for an MRI and they said it shows it has spread throughout my breast so I will need a mastectomy. The MRI showed 6cm of ‘abnormal tissue mass’ which is going up to my nipple (my nipple is inverted and has been for a while) 

I have further tests coming up, to determine the stage and treatment plan. I will have a guided biopsy (first time they went in blind as they had no concerns) a mammogram and to check if it has spread to my lymph nodes. 

apparently this cancer was hiding and was not detectable on an ultrasound. 

I am petrified, I am 35 and have 2 young kids. 

I guess I just want to know if anyone has been through similar, and can offer any guidance or advice? Even though I have some information, I still feel like I’m in the unknown and my mind is going mad. I have no idea if it’s spread and what stage this will be classed as.
