I don't even know when's the last time I posted here because it's been a little over 2 decades since my dx. I was dx'd with IDC stage IIB with two lymph nodes involvement back in July of 2005. My tumor measured 3.5cm at dx. And you know what? After two decades, I'm still here alive and kicking, enjoy eating chocolate. 😁 Just because your nodes are affected doesn't mean it's a death sentence. You will be where I am right now before you know it and will be working your butt off to get your son ready for his prom. So in the meantime, just try to stay positive. My advice, never google for the stats. They are just numbers.

Hello Confused, welcome into our club. It will take a little while to let things settle in, so please wipe your mind of any & all expectations. There's no wrong way to feel, so please take little baby steps and you'll get there. It's a huge learning curve, so it's best to proceed forward very slowly at your own pace.

Your tumors are very small, so it apparently was caught quite early. Surely somebody with a similar diagnosis will be along later. I didn't have any lobular cancers, so I cannot comment on yours specifically. I had mixed rarer subtypes of BC, but I did get a mastectomy, at which point I felt a huge relief. My BMX was relatively easy for me, and I've been flat almost 12 years. My best to you in your BC experience.
