I have recently been diagnosed with pleomorphic lobular carcinoma insitu.
I am waiting to have a 2nd biopsy on a second patch of abnormal cells.
I am not sure how to feel right now. My mum had breast cancer 3 times, passing away after the 3rd bout.
I have been told my cancer is not aggressive and not life threatening. But can't help but worry

Hi LB1985
I am so sorry you have been diagnosed with pleomorphic lobular breast cancer. It must be especially worrying given your mum’s history. I hope it doesn’t take long to get your biopsy done, get your results and a treatment plan. I think this is the worst period for most of us. Things will feel a bit easier when you know what you are facing.
