Hi All,

I'm new to this forum. Looking for some advice on my breast cancer diagnosis. I’ve been diagnosed with 

“grade 2 invasive lobular carcinoma breast cancer. 1/1 axillary lymph nodes-micrometastasis only”

I’ve had a mastectomy and I’m taking Tamoxifen for 5 years. I was lead to believe that the cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes, however when reading up on my diagnosis it says that a small amount has spread.

can anyone share some light on this? 

  • Hi there, you might want to give the lovely folks here at Macmillan a call on 0800 808 0000 as I am sure they might be able to talk this through with. Best wishes

  • Hi Debra4.  I had stage 3 grade 2 lobular breast cancer with micrometasis in one lymph node.  I was 47 when diagnosed.  I had lumpectomy, chemo and then radiotherapy and then tamoxifen/letrazole.  I would definitely query this with oncologist as lobular cancer has a higher risk of reoccurrence.  I dont want to sound negative  but I would follow this up.  Good luck on your journey.  Here if you want to chat.
