As my child’s mind is engaged as I wait for cancer confirmation, my child’s mind is wondering a ‘stupid’ question… Can the same breast with multiple tumours be different cancers eg. A tumour hr&er positive with a different tumour triple negative?
Hello, I think that for an informed answer, it might be worth you talking to the lovely and very professional / knowledgeable MacMillan advisors on 0808 808 0000 who are medically qualified to answer your question.
From my limited knowledge, there are such things as multi focal and multi centric tumours. I believe that the latter type can be different grades etc, but that they are not common.
