Coping and support
By Mayo Clinic staffA diagnosis of breast cancer may be one of the most difficult situations you'll ever face. It can set off a roller coaster of emotions, from shock and fear to anger, anxiety or depression. There's no "right" way to feel and act when you're dealing with cancer.
Understanding your illness and the treatment options can help you feel more in control. Seek support from your family and friends, and ask your doctor about community and hospital resources. You may find it helpful to talk to other women with breast cancer.
During your treatment, allow yourself time to rest. Take good care of your body by getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, staying as physically active as you're able and taking time to relax. Try to maintain at least some of your daily routine, including social activities.
Finally, take heart in knowing that breast cancer is increasingly about survivorship. The outlook (prognosis) for early-stage ILC is favorable and has improved over time. Most women with invasive lobular carcinoma survive at least 10 years, and often much longer.
