Just diagnosed with invasive Lobular Cancer
Hi
i Just got diagnosed with ILC and feeling really shook. I’m a young, active 57yo in “great” health. I have two tumours in my left breast and multiple complex and funky looking cysts. Right now I’m in the waiting game to get in to see my oncologist and get surgery. I was wondering if anyone out there was in the same boat right now. I’d love to hear your story.
Thanks 💜

Hi yes I'm in the same boat except i was diagnosed on 3/1/25 with stage 2 invasive lobular carcinoma. I've had all the tests except the pet scan which i'm having done 4/21/25. I'm struggling rapping my brain around the fact that I have breast cancer. I also have two tumors but in right breast and was told by surgical oncologist that i cant have a lumpectomy and that it has to be a mastectomy. I'm devasted and shook up about all of it right now. The pet scan will check to see if it has spread to other areas and they also now want to do an ultra sound on the left breast to see that now.
I'm in contant prayer over this and I live alone which makes this even harder. No family and no kids. I will pray for you in hopes you somehow come to grips with it all. just know im in the same boat. probably a worse boat because conventional treatments scare me even more then the diagnosis….
