@part prayers going out to you for your upcoming appointment with surgeon. I’m confused how they performed mammogram on mastectomy left side. I’ve always been concerned that the mastectomy side essentially is not getting checked other than manual exam. All the best to you.

I had a saline implant after mastectomy 22yr ago. Was told never need a mammogram because all breast tissue removed. My original surgeon told me that only 2% of patients have this happen. She believes this will be a new primary tumor. Chat GPT said the pathologist has to compare biopsy results to figure out if recurrent cancer or new primary. She is taking my case to Tumor Board at hospital where all cancer specialists convene and discuss case. Breast MRI done today. Will get lymph node mapping at lymphedema clinic beforenext steps.
