Thanks @kmakm and @EmCee
i haven’t been advised of breast density - I assume the invasive cancer didn’t show up as it was hidden in a mass of calcifications. The calcified DCIS they said had probably been there for years - it was found on my first mammogram. ( I was 18 months overdue for it and yes could possibly have been diagnosed earlier and saved my lymph nodes 😟)
Having invasive cancer in both breasts at the same time and in the same place is apparently quite rare - although one is more advanced than the other.
I have no idea what ongoing monitoring will look like but have found through reading this forum I have better questions to ask. Thank you ladies !! And best of luck to you @EmCee I hope it goes smoothly for you
