Hello, Grade 2 Invasive Ductal with Lobular features. Brain all in a scramble

Am totally with you there. Take the time to process what is said to you. Read the information they give you. Speak to you breast cancer nurse.  Go to a maggies centre and chat.  That's what I did. My head is still reeling 4 months down.

Thanks Janicekoolkat. It’s lovely to know I’m not on my own. 

Hi Ruthey , brain in a scramble is a very good description of these early days, I remember well even though it’s over 5 years since my diagnosis. Welcome to the group, I’ve found it a great place for support and shared experiences. Definitely stay away from Google - so much there is out of date or just wrong. I’ve tried to stick with sites like this which you can trust. Re work, everyone is different so try to accept that you come first and whatever feels right for you, is right! For myself, I found it easier to go to work and focus on that while waiting for my biopsy results and then waiting for my op, but some people just can’t face work at that point and get signed off. Others work throughout treatment - I didn’t, I ended being off from my op until 4 weeks after radiotherapy. 4 months in all. So do try to go with what feels appropriate for you, and of course every job is different too. Hope the time somehow whizzes by until you get your results and have more of an idea about what you are facing. It’s a tortuous time. Sending love and a big virtual hug, HFxx

Hi Rutherford, I was diagnosed last Friday with ILC . mri Monday and op next Friday . Today is my last physical day at work , I may work from home next week inbetween tests and appointments.

I’m barely functioning at the minute but I feel the same as you about work . Part time and love it but financially can afford to stop. I’m not making that decision for a few weeks.

Hi klf, I think that’s wise and I have decided I’m going to leave the work decision as long as possible. At the moment it is keeping me sane. Good luck next week and yes will stick close . Im having a little weep reading all these lovely replies as I feel so supported. A huge ray of sunshine in a shit shit time. 

Thank you so much, i really appreciate it xx

I’m always having a weep . Tears are good to get out .

lets hope that both our results are the best.

never even heard of lobular until last week, although I do know that  Victoria Derbyshire had ILC 

Me neither, looks like from now everyday is going to be a school day, going to learn a lot i expect in the next days. I hope your results are good on Monday. Xx

I call it the Booby Blues xx.

That’s brilliant made me laugh
