Mixed ductal and lobular breast cancer means you have both types of breast cancer cells present. The two main types are:

• Ductal carcinoma - starts in the milk ducts
• Lobular carcinoma - begins in the milk-producing glands (lobules)

Mixed ductal and lobular breast cancer means you have both types of breast cancer cells present. The two main types are:

• Ductal carcinoma - starts in the milk ducts
• Lobular carcinoma - begins in the milk-producing glands (lobules)

Since your cancer is stage 2B with lymph node involvement, your treatment plan will likely be more comprehensive than early-stage treatments. Treatment options typically include:

• Surgery (either lumpectomy or mastectomy depending on tumor size/location)
• Radiation therapy after surgery
• Hormone therapy if your cancer is hormone-receptor positive
• Chemotherapy may be recommended due to positive lymph node

The specific combination and order of treatments will be tailored to your individual case. It's important to discuss all options thoroughly with your oncology team to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your situation.

I had lobular in right breast, ductal in left breast (with lobular features) The left breast tumor size made the stage 2B. Both sides were ER/PR positive HER negative. 4 lymph nodes biopsied all negative. I had full chest radiation plus lymph node radiation(neck area) on the left side due to the tumor size on that side. I had 35 radiation treatments. ALso I am taking Anastrozole . The Onco score on both sides indicated chemo not recommended, so I did not have chemo. Surgery was Aug 2022. I am doing fine 3 years out.
