Articles about risks of future breast and ovarian cancer

Options

I saw my oncologist last week for a 6-month check up after an annual mammogram in March that was fine. I have, however, developed a very small ovarian cyst which is being "watched." I am 3 years out from a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer (ductal), stage 1 a, no positive lymph nodes, ER and PR+, HERS2+. Treated with neoadjuvant chemo and Herceptin for 1 year, lumpectomy, radiation. Have been taking Femara for more than 2 years now. Anyway, my question to him was "Do I have an increased risk of cancer now that I have had breast cancer?" He said that I do have increased risks for another, unrelated breast cancer and for ovarian cancer, even though none of my genetic tests revealed any genetic problems. BTW, my mother died at age 82 from ovarian cancer after being diagnosed at age 81.

Can anyone provide me with a good source of information about the risks for a second cancer AFTER initial breast cancer? Website? Scholarly articles? Thanks!
