Hi,
I joined this forum in 2023 when my right breast tried to kill me (invasive ductal carcinoma - 1 lymph node positive). After WLE and then mastectomy to flat followed by radiotherapy I was done with active treatment and have been on Letrozole for almost 3 years.
Fast forward to my surveillance mammogram and now my left breast is trying to kill me (invasive lobular carcinoma) awaiting breast MRI prior to surgery.
i just wondered if anyone else had been in this position of two different primary breast cancers?
Hi robbann
I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time.
I had two different primary breast cancers. In September 2020 I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in my left breast and then in less three years I was diagnosed with ER ^ PR breast cancer in my right breast after my 2nd annual mammogram showed something suspicious. Both times I made a full recovery after having treatment.
Wishing you the best of luck with surgery and with whatever other treatment you may need.
Best wishses
