Hey! @jayjen I'm sorry to hear of your sister and her recurrence. I've been on this roller coaster 6yrs now and Ive had a recurrence at the 4yr mark, but it was in the same spot in the same breast. I was treated with chemo in 2015 after major lumpectomy for the 2nd time, clear nodes and only ER+ I had the Gene test and it was negative, it helped decide the next step though. I had a left breast mastectomy 14 months post chemo and diep flap reconstruction. The Geneticists said this was their recommendation based on the history and diagnosis. They along with all my Specialists did say too though...that the odds of me getting anything in the other breast wasnt that much higher at all, my chances are as much as someone getting it the first time. Hang in there. Hugs Melinda xo
