Around 15 per cent of breast cancers are invasive lobular, making it the second most common form in the UK after ductal breast cancer.
Breast cancer research is largely based on ductal breast cancer, which means treatments are as well - but they're different forms.
Research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute shows that there are meaningful differences between the two forms of cancer, supporting evidence that they require different clinical management.
When I was diagnosed with invasive lobular breast cancer in 2013 I asked the doctor I beg your pardon, what's that?' It's the second most common form of breast cancer but it's honestly a forgotten and hidden type.
