Hi lovely people,

I am wondering if anyone has had a recurrence on the same breast. I had TNBC on my left breast 3 years ago. I had just booked a table for my husband and me to celebrate 3 years clear from surgery when I found a large lump on the cleavage side of my breast.  I have an appointment with the consultant on the 27th. I am trying to convince myself it is everything but cancer but failing badly. 

  • Hi Ardmhor

    Sorry to hear that you found a lump and that you think your cancer might be back.  I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in my left breast just over four years ago.  Then just two years later I had a local recurrence in the same breast.  Luckily the tumour was small, and I had it removed and I am currently cancer free..

    Wishing you the best of luck with your appointment and hopefully it's not back.

    Best wishes

  • Thank you Daisy53, I just read your post to my hubby, it gave us both some hope. Stay well and thank you, I will breath a wee bit easier tonight. 

  • Hello Daisy,

    I was diagnosed with tnbc in February 2023, and I just found out it came back. I'm still waiting for the exams results, but the MRI definitely shows a tumor in the same breast.

    Can I ask you what treatments did you follow the second time? 

    Thank you!

    I hope you are both doing well

  • Hi Dryad640652

    I had chemo and radiotherapy the second time as well.

  • Thank you so much for replying. I just received the results, and it's confirmed it's a recurrence. I'm really scared, all I find in the internet says it's not much hope...
    Are you ok now? No metastasis? I'm so sorry to ask, but I'm really in a dark place right now. The first time I was really positive, but it's harder now...

  • Hi Dryad640652

    I'm really sorry to hear that you have a recurrence of triple negative. Hard I know but try not to take any notice of what the internet says about triple negative as the information is out of date by a few years, it's best to rely on sites like this one and Breast Cancer Now for your information. 

    No need to apologise for asking, I had no metastasis, mine was a local recurrence confined to the breast and just 1 cm.  In fact I was lucky they picked it up when I had a CT Scan as it didn't appear on the Mammograms I had prior to my operation for breast cancer in my right breast.

    Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next for you.

    Best wishes
