Lobular & Ductal breast cancer

Just been diagnosed with lobular and Ductal cancer was first told it was Ductal and lymph nodes clear after surgery for lumpectomy was told it's bigger than first thought and in both also in lymph gland that was removed. Going for CT scan today convinced it's all over me as I have stomach pains, pains in my back which have been there a while my neck hurts, I'm waking in the night with sweats I'm 61 this was found on my 3 yearly mammogram I'm so scared I feel like giving up does anyone else feel like this
