I was wondering if the recurrances your sister had were actually tumors that were already there from the beginning... Does she have dense breast tissue? Did she have a breast MR aside from the usual mammo at diagnosis? I had my MRI after my lumpectomy and two more tumors were found adjacent to the original tumor... and I had clear margins after the first lumpectomy. I think all the previous conversation regarding growth factors and lymphatic spread etc are important, but accurate physical imaging is very important too so we can decide what course of treatment to take.
