Am interested if anyone has any similar experiences. I was diagnosed with stage 2 bowel CA in 2015 had chemo and surgeries over 2 years and then in 2018 following a routine mammogram was diagnosed with triple negative breast CA. I am currently having chemo after having a lumpectomy. I am still reeling with the shock. I don't know anyone that has had 2 primary's in such a short time. Is there anyone there who has had similar??.

Hi Foxtrot,
yep non hodgkinsons lymphoma (follicular lymphoma) 2015 and breast cancer 2017 both caught early and treated via surgery and RT. Interestingly I’m back on the treadmill for a 3rd primary (sarcoma) investigation at the moment. I’m getting very paranoid about “odd” years! I’m currently telling myself that I can’t be that unlucky and the odds are it’s a lipoma but until the results are in its back to the dreadful wait 
so you’re not alone there and totally understand your feelings of shock.
best wishes S
