New cancer found in remaining breast

Hey Val, I know exactly how you feel. I just had my second mastectomy on the 19th, came home the 20th. I had ductal cancer in the left breast, but this one was Lobular.
It was very small also ,no node involvement. I see my surgeon tomorrow and my onc. in a couple of weeks to see it I do need any treatment. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
It is like getting a punch in the gut when you hear the news, but like true Warrior Women we will get thru it. Hugs and Blessings, Jeanette

I'm sorry you are going through this, too. It could happen to any of us and we all must be vigilant. I think you have made the right decision about the mastectomy. May you have many years of health ahead of you.

Val:

I am sorry you have to do this a second time. I can't imagine how tough you will need to be to repeat all the grief of a second go-around.

Val, please know that you are not alone. We are on your side. Our prayers will go out to you and your family.

Val, it gets me upset each time I see that one of us gets hit by this horrible disease. But after going through the heavy treatment once, finding another cancer in the second breast must be so difficult. I read your blog. I understand what you felt about the biopsy. I hope you can give us more news when you will have the final results.
