Hi, I was diagnosed with ILC in April 2013. ER/PR positive, Her2 neg. Sounds like the exact same cancer. Had bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction and will have my exchange surgery tomorrow. I will start hormone therapy shortly after that. I'm very nervous about that and the side effects. You don't live far from me. I'm in Lansdale and my plastic surgeon is in Newtown. Small world. Good Luck to you!

Hi Carol I live in Churchville I was diagnosed a year ago and still in treatment since I am HER2 positive and also in clinical trials. If you like you can call me 215-833-6593. I had my wig made by Joseph Minniti and it is fabulous. Also there is a place on Second street pike (232) GG's I hear they are very nice as well. Hope to hear from you soon. Hang in there it will get better!!!

Please be my friend here. I was diagnosed mar 28. I have not started any treatment yet just went for another biopsy on other breast. My surgeon said mastectomy on right not sure about left, with expanders. I lost my mother at 53 from breast cancer. My name is melissa I'm 45. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and would love to help cheer you on while you kick cancers a##!

Hi. I too have invasive lobular carcinoma, and positive for estrogen receptors. I was diagnosed last June and finished chemo the day after Christmas. I did not receive radiation because the little beastie had already gone into my bones and liver.

I find that staying positive helps a lot, even if sometimes the humor may get a little morbid. I have always loved a good laugh. Although I have to admit , it gets tough some days to find anything to smile about.

Anyway.... Wanted to say hello and if I can help give me shout.
