Hi Jane, so sorry to hear you have breast cancer again.I had a recurrence in the same breast 7 years after my first diagnosis. I think I was angry more than anything.I'd had a lumpectomy,full node clearance and radiation. So the next time I had to have a mastectomy and chemo and then Tamoxifen.It is now 7 yrs again(14 from the first)and I'm fine.One of the ladies in my group had a primary bc in her other breast 12yrs after her first bc.She opted for a double mastectomy and was happy with her choice.These are all difficult decisions and you just have to do what feels right for you.Its not fair and it sucks but you'll be ok and get through it again.Big hug. xxx
