So in September last year I had a lumpectomy and then had eight rounds of chemo with two weeks of radiotherapy which finished at the beginning of April, the consultant, although they didn’t do a scan, said the lumpectomy gave clear margins, and there was no reason to believe that the chemo and the radio didn’t work so I was cancer free.
However, this week I’ve been diagnosed with a brain tumour and they are saying the likelihood of me having another primary cancer is rare so they think it must be secondary and therefore my cancer has come back. It seems hard to believe to me. Has anyone else been in this situation?
i’m still waiting on scans so don’t know anything for certain yet and know all of this is speculation but anyone’s experience would be gratefully received
i am so sorry to hear this

had an aunt who have cervical cancer after BC and was told it was secondary, underwent surgery and more chemo, clear now for awhile
That's so hard to accept. My surgery was in Dec. No chemo just Radiotherapy, 5 sessions. That's the problem, we have to believe them and trust. They dont know everything. I just try to enjoy the life I have knowing that it could come back. I know some who have had BC twice. Fingers crossed for you they can do something to help.
i think it was within a year or so, as she went through a whirlwind of things, she told us about the bc but i remember we went many months not seeing her as she kept the second one to herself as much as one can.
sending you any kind of emotional support one can online.
yes you do think. well isnt the chemo suppose to do this?
on an aside a family friend had brain tumours and the did radiation and i think they shrunk them all on her. 
try not to over google, try not go down the rabbit hole. hugs
