invasive lobular carcinoma

@Bubbles01 hi you will... god I can't tell you how many times I'm up then down... even now lol. Keep your chin up everyday is a day forward.  Think worse for me was not being able to do anything & being looked after by everyone!!!  I'm very stubborn lol .  Keep your arm rested & don't forget the exercises there great / not 

takecare ❤️

Hi Bubbles,

had a double masectomy last year Ilc. The drains are a pain but they will go. Everything seems like a milestone, I remember it so well. One day at a time, make sure you rest. Consultants are a little lacking in an empathy gene I feel sometimes! I had some bad moments with mine, so much so I became a ' difficult' patient, mostly because I'd done so much reading and was questioning all the time, but I'm 8 months down the rd, just waiting for my implant exchange.

It does start to feel better, it just takes a lit out of you. 

Lots if hugs

Hi bubbles 

Hope you are keeping well..I got diagnosed with same cancer in sept have lumpectomy & 2 limphnodes removed in Oct ..started radiotherapy 11/12/17 finished it last thur 12/1/18 and I'm feeling great ...iv takin no time off work as deli assistant 20+ hours a wk and has kept me busy & going ..I'm getting tired a lot more now so I'm taking more naps before work and after work ..I'm feeling great and even better I'm being told I looked great ..just have to try lose weight now & I wil be back to my original me ?

Hi , im now waiting for my radiotherapy, will be having 15 sessions 3 weeks, wish they would hurry up with giving me the appointment, I had lumpectomy 7 weeks ago and full node clearance 4 weeks ago my oncologist told me the  radiotherapy should start with in 12 weeks of first op, any one else had to wait awhile for radiotherapy ? Xx

@Mandi53 hi I had to wait until I had my chemo.. was nearly 5 months! But all done now, radiotherapy is a doddle to have but get some discomfort in the weeks to follow, 9 weeks later I'm still sore? Good luck x

Thank you , I have  CT scan on wed 24 , then radiotherapy starts 12 feb , been pretty lucky all the way through not had to much time off work and will work through the radiotherapy , shorter hours as do 12 hour shifts in a care home for dementia, but now at least an end in sight to my journey xxx

Hi, had my post op check this week & was given the news that it has spread to the lymph nodes, so having another operation on wed, my tumour was 11cm in my breast. still not over the mastectomy, devastated with the news. can someone tell me how long it takes to be able to start wearing your bra as I am too scared too at this moment in time xx

Sending you hugs XXX I wore a crop top sort of gentle sports bra at first . I wear a sports bra with more support now to keep my expanders from hurting too much x

@Bubbles01 hi bubbles ... mine was in lympnodes too... you'll be ok chin up you can do it... everyday is a step forward remember that even in your darkest days x I thought Christmas would never come after all my treatment but it did & it's passed now lol. It's hard & depressing I know xx I wore a soft crop bra too?   Keep in touch xx all the best

Thank you peeps, am going to try the bra tomorrow, as going out with friends for the 1st time since the mastectomy. Want a nice evening before the Lymph nodes removal on wed. Will keep you posted xx
