Hi Sue

Sorry for late reply, roller coaster ride right now.

Tuesday confirmed lobular cancer, due to this rare cancer I was sent for an MRI to confirm size, location and spread.

MRI shows one confirmed area of cancer 2.8cm, which we knew about, and an additional suspicous mass in another area in same breast showing as 2.1cm, with a seperation of 1.7mm so we are looking at a 6cm cancer in my right breast.

No spread to left breast and no indication of lymoh node spread.

So, that means we are looking at a 8cm for a clear margin, luckily I am of ample breast and Consultant, is still happy to proceed on a lumpectomy and dual breast reduction, but this now means going to a smaller cup due to cancer size, we had looked at going from FF to D on original diagnosis, but now we are looking at FF to B.  I just don't care anymore, I just want this out of me...

If on surgery, it is bigger mass than show, I will have a mastectomy with implant.........

I was told surgery plus rads now things have changed.  I need to have a  biposy on new lump......Surgery is booked for 6th Nov, so I am now looking at Surgery, rads, chemo and 5yr hormone treatment.

So, all in all a pretty *** day.......

I just want it over with xx

Hi Karen, so sorry to hear a second lump has shown up, that must have been a hell of a shock for you. But there is some good news to hang onto, in that it doesn't appear to involve the lymph nodes and your other breast is clear. I know that's little comfort at the moment but it is good news believe me. I also had lobular on one side (tubular on the other) and have made it through. It isn't easy and all the uncertainly and waiting around does your head in for sure but you can, and will, get there I promise you. Look after yourself over the next couple of weeks and I am here anytime if you want to shout, scream, rant or ask any questions. Take care and lots of hugs  Sue xx
