I'm so sorry that you now have breast cancer in the other breast. As you know a recurrence doesn't have to be in the same breast as does mets. You can get it anywhere and it is still referred to as breast cancer. I was diagnosed Oct 2005 with advanced stage III ductual, ER/PR-, HER+++. I have opted to have chemo before surgery to try and shrink the tumor and I have one more chemo round to go. The tumor has not shrunk and 2 weeks ago I developed another tumor in the same breast. I am scheduled for surgery (bi-lateral mastectomy) June 8. After surgery I will have radiation and herceptin. My mammograms have always been normal, including the one from last year. I myself don't have much faith in them.

In your case I would suggest that a sonogram be done and also perhaps a CT Scan, bone scan. Don't delay -- cancer grows fast. Best of luck to you.
