hi Carol,
I was also recently diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma and micro- metastatic disease of th lymph nodes. I have been tired for about a year and a half or so before diagnoses. It isn't supposed to be part of the symptoms of cancer, is it? It isn't an exhaustion, it has been a lack of my usual high energy, sort of like an older person might tire more easily. Nothing to complain about, but my closest friends were remarking how I always seemed to be more tired than usual. Perhaps we are the first to really speak up about this subtle shift in our energy.
