Angel,
So sorry to hear you have to go through it all again. Fingers crossed it is only a local reccurrence and not spread anywhere else.
My thoughts are with you

Oh Angel, I am so sorry.
Even though you have been through this its really not what you should have to experience again.
I can not imagine what you are feeling but I hope you can find all the support you need.
Take care

HI angel, hang in there girl. Its a bit like child birth, the first time ignorance is bliss, the 2nd time around you know what to expect!. take care Love Suzy
im sitting here and i still cannot believe it ,i know its true ok but im totaly totaly devasted what angers me was i asked the surgeon to take off my other breast and he said no as the chance of that happening again is very very slim chance in a million he says .so i kinda gave him a hard time yesterday but he took it on the chin so to speak lol all he did was apologise to me .mmmm i suppose i got to blame some one right lol .
ok take care.

Hi again Angel
That I can empathise with, I asked for a mastectomy on my second occurrence and was told there was no clinical reason for one, there bl**dy well was six months later.
I was considering asking for a mastectomy to my right breast on the 16th ( Consultant appointment), taking your situation in mind I will definitely ask.
Keep in touch if you can, take care

Dear angel
I’m sorry to read of your recent diagnosis, you may find you get more replies in the Local recurrence or new primary diagnosis room from others who have been in a similar situation.
Kind Regards

Angel,
Recurrence in another breast is NOT secondary breast cancer. You are apparently still awaiting the results for secondary breast cancer (which means spread to places such as liver, lungs, brain or bones) and I hope for your sake, you do not need to join this club.
Hope you get good news. if not, we are here to give help and support.
Holey.
