Hi, I'm new on here, I just finished 8th cycle of chemo today, plan is surgery in a few weeks and rt after. Just want to say I've been reading some of your posts in the last few weeks and found them great Image removed. I'm 39 and I was diagnosed in June with 8cm invasive lobular bc which didn't show up on mammogram or ultrasound and was then found through biopsy and could be seen on MRI. It seems this type commonly goes undetected on routine scans and also can be due to dense tissue in younger women.(not that I thought I was that young Image removed. ) I had no idea this can happen before my diagnosis. It was all a huge shock, but, as the weeks passed I started to get through the treatment and processing it all as I go along!! Great to be able to join a forum like this and I look forward to chatting to all you amazing ladies!!!!
