2nd Tumor Left In After Lumpectomy

I've been a member of this forum for almost 2 years, where I received a lot of support, help and advice.  I had a lumpectomy, successful as I thought on January 7th, 2016 followed by 9 months of preventative chemo and then 3 months of radiation which I finished in April of this year.  I took a few weeks off prior to getting the first mammo after which turned into a sono when a Dr. did not like what he saw.  He asked what was at the 10 o'clock position in the same breast and I remember like yesterday that when getting biopsied in November 2015, a radiology Dr. did not follow orders even when prompted by the tech in the room to biopsy the 2nd ordered, saying "Eh, it's just a cyst."  The recent mammo/sono of this year turned into a biopsy, sadly, sure enough it's breast c.  As was told, more aggressive, 8/9 on the Nottingham scale and ER+, PR+, as opposed to the 1st removed as a 3/5 Nottingham, only ER+.  I am beyond terrified and the onc I was using could not provide me with a specialty surgeon, so I went back to where I 1st had surgery, not liking the treatment there.  This week I will see a female surgeon suggested from a local lady who's a 5 year survivor and hoping she can give me some answers, though I do see surgery as the 1st thing to be done.  I am terrified but curious, has anything this strange or neglectful happened to anyone else? Sad
