Secondary breast cancer

I had a primary breast cancer, had a lumpectomy and lymph nodes removed. No cancer found in the nodes. My question. If it came back in the same breast or the other. Is that described as terminal..?

  • Hi Vivienbegonia,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I was diagnosed with a primary cancer in one breast and had a lumpectomy. There was no lymph node involvement. Less than a year later I discovered another lump, in the same breast. This was also cancerous. This was a second primary cancer. I had a double mastectomy and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life, even though that was all 14 years ago now.

    Kind regards,
