Hi everyone my name is Jo. I am 52. I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer on Wednesday this week. I am still coming to terms with the diagnosis. The consultant says it’s caught early, although he didn’t actually think it was anything to start with so that makes me a little nervous. I am going for an MRI tomorrow and am weaning myself off my HRT. Next consultant appointment 16th to discuss treatment plan but is likely surgery in first instance. I have had all the worst case scenario thoughts and really want to see my adult children marry and have children so hope to be around but still feeling very scared, anxious and apprehensive.

Hi Jojo246 welcome to the forum. First thing to say is it's OK to feel scared frightened and apprehensive. This beast has invaded our lives and taken over our rational brains. I had Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer almost 7 years ago now and I'm still here to tell the tale. Lobular tends to be a sneaky wee beggar and that's why they are doing an MRI as it doesn't always present as a lump but the MRI gives them.better pictures. I then went on to have 20 sessions of Radiotherapy, though I think sessions are more condensed now, it's not easy but it is entirely doable and there is absolutely No reason to expect that you will not be there to dance at your children's wedding and cuddle those grandchildren.. you will get through this and you will come out the other side. Sending some huge big hugs for now. Gailx
