I was first diagnosed in 2003 with DCIS and had a double mastectomy ( my choice) followed by a Tram flap reconstruction and my oncologist said That I didn’t need chemo or radiation and was released. Exactly 20 years after my first cancer I went to Dr after having pain in my left breast and was diagnosed with cancer again. They did a study and it wasn’t the same cancer reoccurrence, they believe it was in the skin flap from my abdominal muscle they used for reconstruction and excess estrogen caused second cancer.
@lautwell
Was the 2nd cancer in the same spot as the first time or just same breast?
I’m feeling something similar to what I felt when I found the cancer the first time, but it’s about an inch or so above my Lumpectomy incision.
I am hoping it is just scar tissue but have an ultrasound scheduled for next week.
