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.

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.
