what are the odds ??............10 years ago this past August I was
diagnosed with cancer in my left breast. Had a modified radical
mastectomy.......node negative. No chemo, no radiation. Last month on
the 4th I found a lump in my right breast. Four days later after a mammogram
and a biopsy I had a second modified radical mastectomy. I'm not springing
back like I did 10 years ago (of course I'm
10 years older ,it was a different type of cancer and required the removal
of several lymph nodes) but once again' all nodes were negative once again.
I've been blessed to say the least.

Hello,
The odds are that others, on the breast cancer newsgroup, have also had a
different cancer occur in the other breast.
In fact, I know there's some there. I've been reading their posts.
I highly recommend that you join them there.

Good luck with the recovery. It takes time. They'll share what helped with that.

Sounds very encouraging that the lymph nodes were negative.
