Hello telle.

 

I’m not sure what loplar cancer is - there seem to be so many variations.

 

I am 48 and was diagnosed in December.  I have a single 5cm tumour in my left breast with infected lymph nodes in my armpit. It’s all happened so quickly - I know it is grade 3, but still don’t have a stage or full diagnosis as some results have not yet been confirmed.

 

What is your plan of action?

 

I am having my third dose of chemotherapy today. My first dose was just 11 days after diagnosis. I have to have a mastectomy, radiotherapy and reconstruction surgery later, so my treatment is mapped out into 2015.

Hi telle,

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  Do you mean lobular? This is one of the common forms of breast cancer, but is more common in ladies who are older than you, so not sure.  I’m sure that someone more knowledgeable can give you advice, but keep posting for whatever support you need. Xx
