I have been diagnosed with lobular breast cancer. However it is only in the lymph glands and not the breast. Is this common?

Hello and thank you for posting.
This is rare, but in some cases, lobular breast cancer is only found in the lymph nodes.
These types of cancer cells behave differently to other breast cancer cells in how they present on scan. They can move from the original site in the breast and sometimes do not leave much evidence behind.
Please do talk further to your own hospital team to understand your own situation better but, if helpful there are the charities Lobular Breast Cancer UK and Breast Cancer Now.
Take care and if you want to talk anything through with the nurses then do call 0808 800 4040. Lines are open mon-fri, 9-5.
Sarah.
