Breast cancer - lobular - lumpectomy results

Hi All, looking for anyone who has had a similar experience - I’m ER postive , her - , intially my tumour size based on MRI / mammogram / ultrasound was 20mm grade 2 however after surgery I’ve got a huge shock as it’s now 50mm , & in those previous scans lymnodes looked clear however 1 of the 5 has tested positive . I getting re -excisin next week to get clear margins & the most worrying a CT to check if this has spread to other body parts . I’m petrified . I’m 38 years old . Chemo is most likely but also concerned as I read a lot that lobualr doesn’t respond well to this - anyone had similar experience ? Any advise appreciated

  • Hi Maggiem88, sorry to read about your diagnosis.  I had lobular breast cancer tumour 40mm removed through lumpectomy.  It was like yours ER+, PR+ and HER2-.  I had one node positive.  I was 47.  I had chemo and then radiotherapy and my cancer responded well.  I also had a CT scan but luckily there was no spread.  So good luck with your next op.  Please let me know how it goes.  Chemo is hard but if it get rid of the cancer it is worth it.  Happy to chat.
