Our Stories
At Lobular Breast Cancer UK we work to ensure that anyone diagnosed with lobular breast cancer lives, and lives well.
As people diagnosed with lobular breast cancer, we all have a different story to tell. Hear some shared personal experiences of living with a lobular breast cancer diagnosis.
But we don’t work in isolation at LBCUK. Only by working together can we make real changes and we are joined by our medical and scientific advisors, family and friends who support us and all of our volunteers.
Our History
Following a diagnosis of Lobular Carcinoma in Situ (LCIS), a risk marker for breast cancer, in 2014 and invasive lobular breast cancer in 2017, Claire Turner, our Founder and Chair, couldn’t find any information about lobular breast cancer in the UK and there seemed to be little understanding of the disease.
