Mixed ductal and lobular

[Smileybee]

After my mastectomy they analysed what they had taken and told me my cancer was both ductal and lobular. My oncologist said it meant both lobes and ducts were infected.

I had both too and on the letter I was given, it gives a size for each taken out with one WLE x

Has anyone else had their cancer described as mixed ductal and lobular. I think it means breast tissue too dense to be sure
