Hi all, sorry to join your crappy club but hey ho here I am, had a good read through a few newbies messages and not seen anyone with both lobular and ductal yet, am I really unlucky???
Found a lump before Xmas, had 5 biopsies, 2 mammograms and 2 ultrasounds in the last week so my poor boobies are like squashed tomatoes ?
I’m 38 with 2 girls age 7 and 9
Diagnosed today, I have an MRI on Monday to check how spread the lobular cancer is and need to make a decision on operation by Friday. Unless it’s a full mastectomy I have the choice of just the lumpectomy or lumpectomy with a breast reduction, not sure what to do ?
