Was diagnosed with breast cancel 20 months ago and had lump and 2 sentinel nodes removed. Am on Letrozole for 5 years. Have now been diagnosed with lump on throat and am having saliva gland removed in Feb. When I asked about the possible connection of lobula cancers I was told there wasn’t any. That’s not true if you Google! Who do I believe. Any one else had the same?

  • Hi Ayrhead, sorry to hear of your diagnosis. We often look to Google for answers and then scare ourselves silly with what we find. Many things are out of date or just not correct. I would trust in what your medical team have told you. They will know exactly where lobular cancer spreads to if it did. Yes I understand cancers can spread but each cancer seems to have its link as to where it will spread so it would be the same for lobular and idc, they would have there specific areas where they would spread to if they did. Maybe the nurses at Macmillan can offer some help on this too to put your mind at rest. 
    Wishing you all the best
