Just diagnosed Lobular Breast cancer & in lymph nodes

Hi All

Just been diagnosed as grade 2 lobular breast cancer and afyer biopsy was found in lymph nodes. Only had a mammogram last April and nothing could be seen. My breasts are full of finbroadanoma so it felt just like one of them but my nipple became inverted.

Was in complete shock. Lump is 7 cm and I will be opting for double mastectomy as I don't feel the other breast has healthy tissue due to fibroadanoma. I am not worried about treatment but just the fact it has gone into lymph nodes.

Scary that I had a mammogram in 2018 that showed nothing but this worries me that it was there though.  Blood tests seem fine but slight increase in neutrophils. Really anxious that it has spread somewhere else in my body because it could have been there for years.

Can someone reassure me that there are plenty of women out there who get it in their lymph nodes and it doesn t spread? I can't feel them enlarged and the cancer is right next to my armpit so they did not have far to travel.

I have CT tomorrow and bone scan on Tuesday. Reassurance needed and if anyone knows how long the results take?

  • Hi Haelf - Just wondering how you are doing?. I have had my bone scan now and got some more results. Estrogen positive and HER2 negative.

    Any news yourself. I cannot stand this waiting as I just think that doing a CT scan is like putting your hand down the back of the deter. Your bound to find something!

     

    Friends have told me of people who have had it in lymph nodes and not spread but it is so worrying. Also starting to worry about prognosis either way. Feeling sad today.
