The MyBCTeam response is AI generated. Hopefully you will hear from some others that are in your age bracket to share some insight, I was 62 when I did chemo, not fun, but do-able. Keeping you in prayers! Hugs!

It sounds like you're asking whether others in their 70s have gone through chemotherapy for lobular breast cancer with lymph node involvement and triple positive receptor status. That's a very specific situation, and it's completely understandable to want to connect with others who've been through something similar!

Invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) with lymph node involvement means the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, which affects the stage and treatment approach. Triple positive typically means the cancer cells have estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), and HER2 receptors — which actually opens up more targeted treatment options. For hormone receptor-positive ILC, treatment often includes:
- Chemotherapy to target cancer cells
- Hormonal therapy (like tamoxifen) to block estrogen and progesterone receptors
- HER2-targeted therapy since the cancer is HER2-positive
Age can influence treatment decisions, so it's really important to have an open conversation with your oncology team about what's right for your specific situation, overall health, and personal goals.
Many MyBCTeam members have shared similar journeys — you're definitely not alone in navigating this. 💙
