I am curious to see if the ladies who have had breast cancer come back a second or even a third time, did it occur in the same spot as the first diagnosis, or a completely different location (or breast)?  just a quick, short answer is fine.  I was first diagnosed with DCIS in 2008, had lumpectomy and rads, and surprise....breast cancer was found in the exact same place as the first time.  why didn't the rads work???  not only did the rads not prevent me from getting it again, it also complicated my reconstruction.  Anyone care to share their experience?
