First posting for me. I was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time 10 days ago. I previously had breast cancer 15 years ago, when I was not quite 34. At that time I had a partial mastectomy and node clearance. The nodes were clear. I then had 6 weeks radiotherapy. And then had been healthy since. Thought I was well and truly safe from it.

But it was not to be. It has come back in the same breast. I have seen the oncolcogist and because I have already had radiotherapy and it has come back I have no option but to have a full mastectomy. He will also do a sentinal node biopsy and if needed another node clearance.

Not all that happy with my situation. Never expected to be in this positoin again.

Now trying to decide if I will have a bilateral mastectomy so that I never have to worry about it again.

Big decisions.

Anyone else had the same thing.
