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 charitiesLobular Breast Cancer UKandBreast 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.
Thank you for your reply. I feel very confused as my first diagnosis was secondary cancer from a previous episode in the other breast. I was then diagnosed with lobular breast cancer which has now changed to axillary cancer as there is no evidence in the breast. I am now booked to have a complete node clearance. I’m concerned now that this is as previously mentioned secondary breast cancer or can lobular be diagnosed from lymph glands?
