Hi,
I am 27years old and last week I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer. I don’t think your ever prepared to hear those words but I am trying to accept it. It’s very surreal, doesn’t feel real at all, all of my family are very shocked because of my age and no family history. I know it’s not very common to have breast cancer at my age and only 20percent of people will have invasive lobular breast cancer. I’ve come here in hope to find someone going through the same journey as me.

Hi. I was 26 when I was diagnosed with my primary cancer. I am older now but I remember what it was like at the time. There is a Facebook group for younger women with breast cancer (age 45 and under) so it might be worth looking that up and joining that? It’s a really good group with lots of ladies who are all under 45 (including in their 20s) and a great source of support. If you look for the page ‘Younger breast cancer network (UK)’ and send a PM to the admins they should add you to the group x

Hi Sherryann,
I am 48 and I have also been diagnosed with invasive lobular cancer stage 1 (1.9cm) Er positive HER negative. I have breast and ovarian cancer that runs in my family but brca shown negative of it being passed down. I had already had 2 lumpectomy surgeries, removal of 7 lymph nodes that were clear and then I did not have clear margins so I had to have a second surgery. I am meeting with radiation doctor next week and my oncologist wants me to take tamoxifen or AI depending on my oncotype dx results which they want me to begin hormone treatment after radiation.
