Spread

I was diagnosed on the 11th of August with invasive lobular carcinoma. Now I know it’s stage 2 grade 2 for now and 3cm. My surgery is 29th September. That’s a long time from diagnosis to surgery. Could it have spread in the mean time as 6 weeks is a long time :( just worried about it can’t stop thinking what ifs x

  • Hello Kirsty and thank you for posting. 

    It isn't unusual for there to be a few weeks between diagnosis and then surgery. Unfortunately at the moment things are a bit difficult with waiting times, but I do not expect that a 6 week wait will make a difference to the outcome of your surgery. If you are further concerned then do speak to your hospital team as they know you and your cancer.

    Take care Kirsty and if there is anything you want to talk through with one of the nurses on our helpline our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
