Hi got my results back today I have been diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer. I have to have MRI scan to find out the size . Anyone else had to do this .
Hi I was diagnosed with ILC in November and had MRI with contrast. Mammogram showed only cluster of calcification and no tumour as someone else has explained cells don't form as lump so couldn't be seen. Results came back as 7cm tumour and now booked for ultrasound and CT.

The CT is because the area is large I am at higher risk that the cancer may have spread. Also need a blood test before CT. The MRI also shows an area for further investigation. The scans are to make sure they have all the information to agree a treatment plan rather than start and then have to change. Waiting is hard but I am treating each test/scan as another step on the path closer to the end goal. Hope all goes well for you x
I have just had a diagnoses of invasive lobular breast cancer. Awaiting Breast MRI to confirm sizes and if in one or both breasts. Clinical impression is 3x 4 cm in right breast. Ultrasound showed 16 mm. Apparently MRI will provide better more accurate sizing before deciding on treatment plan. I have stomach pain radiating into my back and am hoping a ct scan will be offered as this would either reassure me, allay fears of another cancer or confirm my fears that maybe there is cancer in stomach or pancreas. I really am scared and fearful that something will be missed.I appreciate your positive outlook. Hoping I can get a similar outlook.
