Hi Monigue, if you're referring to the oncologist who posits that a second breast cancer (which is a kind of cancer and can be discovered outside of breast tissue) might not be a recurrence in a true sense, but an independent event, I'll try to find it again. When I came upon it, I was in the shock of having breast cancer and preparing for surgery and recurrence was the last thing on my mind. I didn't realize until later that it his is an interesting speculation ....he seemed to be questioning the process by which breast cancer can later occur in a different area of the body years later without somehow spreading to that area but the spread theory wouldn't account for the time lag. As I say, when I read it, my focus was on the immediate present so I read it half forgot about it. It's probably a moot point for anyone but research scientists as no matter how cancer shows up, the only thing we can do is deal with it and hope to not have it again.
