Hi there
I had ER positive early BC in 2018 on RHS. Two lumpectomy; 3 lymph nodes removed; 3 weeks radiation and 5 years of tamoxifen.
Stopped the tamoxifen in July this year and went for 5 year check with surgeon on Sept 9. Ultrasound showed 7mm lump on LHS! Biopsy revealed ER positive invasive BC. Lumpectomy and one lymph node removed end of September. Then had consult with geneticist and waited 4 weeks for those results. All negative to BC genes, bowel and ovarian.
Started 3 weeks of radiation yesterday 11/12 and planning to start Anastrozole in January.
Throughout the 5 years since my first BC I always had it in my mind and wondered if it could come back. To say it was a shock is an understatement!
The first time I around I kept working and staying busy. This time I am finding it much harder psychologically but also trying to take more time for myself and deal with everything.

It’s great to have this resource. Sending good thoughts to everyone who is on this roller coaster!
