Hi all, I have been having ultrasounds, MRI, mammogram and biopsies since November; thankfully my wonderful consultant just felt something wasn’t right and I had yet another ultrasound and biopsy last Monday. Got a call to go in to clinic on Thursday - I have lobular cancer, I’ve never even heard of it.  I’ve got appointment on Thursday to go through treatment plan but I know surgery will be within next few weeks.  I am absolutely terrified, not of treatment but of dying, xx

  • Hello and welcome.  Breast cancer is very treatable and sounds like your clinic been thorough.  They don't hang around starting treatment it's not like waiting for a hip replacement.  I'm 6,5 post diagnosis so don't think you are checking out soon xx

  • I'm just ahead of you, had surgery and  now waiting for results and treatment plan. what you are feeling and in fear of is perfectly normal. if a treatment plan has been mentioned then that is what you need to focus on...just that....treatment. you will find all the info you need on this site. most importantly don't panic and breathe xxx

  • Thank you so much x

  • Hi Junes. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma on 12.10.21 and had a mastectomy on 7.12.21. The waiting is the most difficult part, at least once you have seen your surgeon you may feel a little more reassured. Fear of dying is perfectly normal in these circumstances. Breast cancer is very treatable. Try to hold onto the facts you know rather than the things you don’t. Best wishes 

  • Thank you Rosabee xx

  • We know how u feel, your mind does take u to the darkest places. Firstly bc is very treatable, u have to believe.

    Journey ahead may be long and winding, however, many have done treatment n op n come out the other side. Keep believing, have faith. 

    When my head takes me to dark places I get on my exercise bike n focus on breathing!  

    Take a step at a time, don't look too far ahead as it will get too overwhelming n not so copable.

    Was diagnosed 1 Oct, 9 Nov op. 4 Jan chemo. You're not alone, no one knows what will happen in the future, but we won't want to miss out on the living, living in fear alone. We got this!

    Let' us know your next step after Thursdayappointment, the ladies here will support u where possible. Xxx
