I, too have pleomorphic invasive lobular, at stage IV with mets to brain, liver, sternum and lymph nodes. I am newly diagnosed with lump found and biopsy in Aug 06 with at least a 16cm tumor - sorry can't remember exactly without looking at my reports too much info in my brain right now but I about fell out of bed when the surgeon told me. - it was 80% of my right breast (36D). Just underwent a right mascetomy, then tissue replacement from abdomen to chest with skin grafts from pubic to chest. The more I learn about this type of breast cancer the more it scares me because it's so difficult to find others with the same thing and I don't know what's in store for me in the future. Right now I wish I could just go back to work so I can concentrate on something else. I start treatment in three weeks and do not know yet what is in store for me. I'm trying my best to keep a possitive attitude though sometimes I slide, as we all do I'm sure.
