I don't know where you are going for treatment, but you should quickly get a second opinion at a cancer center that has a tumor board. If it's important enough to schedule surgery in a week, they can schedule a biopsy in a day or two. Ask for one and more of an explanation of what is going on.

Did you get a CT or PET scan or just a scope?

I only find one occurance of 'lobular' in these forums and it's referring to breast cancer as are most of the hits i get on google.
