My doctor said that lobular is hard to spot so don’t feel bad for not noticing it. I only went to the doctors as my nipple was slightly inverting so wanting re-assurance on that. They said mine was a lobular cancer at the first appointment and then on the letters it says ductal carcinoma and I also felt bad for not feeling a 62cm tumour but she said they are not like lumps more in a line if that makes sense. I hope you are recovering well from the operation, did you have single or double? If you don’t mind answering no worries if not sending hugs x

Just been told I have cancer cells around microcalcifications.  No lumps anywhere!. Breast nurse says it’s fantastic this has beencaught so early. My brother was diagnosed with advanced melanoma earlier this year so I can’t tell him. He’s previously had two strokes so memory appalling. My family just say stay positive but I’m finding it really hard. I feel so alone & scared

Hi First time here

Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that your brother was diagnosed with cancer as well. Breast cancer is very treatable especially if caught early which yours seem to have been.  Also while your are a part of this forum you are never alone and we all understand the fears around having cancer.

Wishing you the best of luck with whatever treatment your medical team puts you on.

Best wishes

Thank you. Just feel scared even though everyone is telling me I will be ok. Such a coward!

Hi First time here, sorry to hear about your diagnosis but it looks like you've done the right thing by reaching out for support.  It is normal to be scared and to be honest I think you're at the scariest point when you've just been diagnosed.  Are you having to have any scans? It will help once you have a treatment plan and know the way forward.  I was really scared but kept it all to myself and just put a brave mask on to everyone else 

You’re not a coward, having any sort of cancer is is scary and raises all sorts of emotions and your aloud to feel this way because there’s so much information to take in and it all happens so quickly, stay on this forum and when ever you feel down or have questions which you will it’s natural, you will always get honest feedback and reassurance on here and sometimes it’s just good for the soul to off load to strangers that are all going through the same emotional stress one way or another, it really does make you feel better.i wish you all the very best xx

How on earth did you cope keeping it all to yourself?  I had an enhanced mammogram; ultrasound & biopsy last week hence the diagnosis. Been advised by breast nurse that it’s contained and how fantastic it us that it’s been caught early. Just feel scared & sick!

Thank tou
