Without really knowing any other details... Are you sure the tumor was not there to begin with?
My "bad" breast was found to have one tumor via Ultra Sound and it was not visible with Mammogram. I had a lumpectomy... AFTERWARDS, I received a breast MRI and two more tumors were found.
My point is-
Did she have all the diagnostics necessary in order to make sure that there was nothing in the "good" breast to begin with? I don't know if finding it now while on chemo makes any difference vs finding it before chemo.
Had I not had the breast MRI, I would be walking around with two tumors that would have been called "recurrances" once they were found...
Cancer is sneaky... I really wish her and you the best,
Maria (MTS)
