What about this?

A question for you........Fifteen years ago I had a lumpectomy in the exact same are that I developed breast cancer in.

After the lumpectomy my surgeon called me and said that the results were inconclusive and they were going to send the tissue sample to another pathology lab. Final pathology .... "atypical hyperplasia cells" which I was told is "typical in women who develop breast cancer."

I always would inquire about these "atypical hyperplasia cells" at every annual exam but honestly don't feel I was ever answered in any way and of course, nothing was ever going to happen to me anyway so I think I pretty much just let it go.

Anyway, was that my dcis??? It just seems funny that my lump was growing in that same area.

Thanks for your help....
