Paula,

I was sorry to hear your news! I bet that was a shockaroo! Goodness! I have heard of women who have a new primary in the opposite breast many years later, so I suppose we continue to be at risk for BC due to our "femaleness."

I am so sorry you have to face the "works" a second time. May you sail through treatment without any difficulties and get back to NED and remain there. Wishing you the very best!
