Recurrence of breast cancer after 17 years

I'm 63 and a 20 yr survivor of breast cancer. I had a sentinel node biopsy that was clear so I did not have to have radiation or chemo. I only had medication to take. I also had a bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy with reconstruction. Recently I was diagnosed with CHF and of course x-rays were done. X-rays showed multiple nodules in my right lung which is the side my breast cancer was on. So now I have to see a thoracic surgeon where I guess we will discuss what comes next. I won't lie, I am a little nervous.

@bluerabbit Do you mind saying which type of breast cancer was it that you had and what stage was it?

@bluerabbit 2 years prior to my ILC diagnosis, I had an unrelated MRI which showed multiple lung nodules, which led to a barrage of more testing & which turned out to be benign! Sending good thoughts & keep us updated!
