Lobular breast cancer

I was diagnosed with bilateral lobular breast cancer lumpectomy grade 1 left breast mastectomy grade 2 right breast 2of 10 lymphnodes involved clearance done. Consultant told me that I would have an oncotype and chemotherapy but when I went to the oncologist he said no oncotype was done and said I only needed radiotherapy and letrozole. I'm so confused and scared of it returning anybody else had something similar. Please help to reasure my mind .. thank you

  • Hello Flowerpup

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through surgery for breast cancer and that following your recent oncology appointment, you've been left with some unanswered questions. It's understandable that you're feeling confused and anxious. 

    Were you give contactdetails for a specialist breast nurse at the hospital? If so, then do give them a call and let them know that you have some questions about treatment. You can always ask for a second opinion if you feel that this is something that you need. 

    Alternatively, if you'd want to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Hopefully, you can get the answers and reassurance you need from the specialists soon. I hope that your radiotherapy treatment runs smoothly Flowerpup. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
