Susan,
I’m glad you found this list helpful. I have learned that lobular is sneaky and hides from imaging. I hope that the combination of treatments that you are on will be successful and that radiation goes well for you. Take care, and best wishes! – Jen

I am a stage 3A and that, in and of itself, causes me anxiety. The oncologist said I have a 2 in 3 chance of a total cure. However, even if it does come back, I am banking on the ongoing advancements in treatment. Still, a scary time for me. So many women are a stage 1 but in my case, I had the “sneaky” type of breast cancer, lobular, rather than ductal. The lobular type doesn’t present with a lump, plus I have very dense breasts. It was finally picked up by a mammogram but was undoubtedly there in the past and not picked up by past mammograms. This is how it advanced to a stage 3A. On another note, I finished my chemo and had my 1st radiation treatment today.

I learned a lot by reading this and hope to add some of these practices to my life.
