Had DCIS (large amount, 9cm), had partial mastectomy and radiation. I found a lump in my breast (same one, right) and it turns out to be IDC and lucky me, a second kind papillary carcinoma. I see a surgeon this friday. I hope to see a plastic surgeon soon also as I would like information on immediate rconstruction.

Aw, we begin the journey again.. I am from Ottawa Ontario Canada.

    Nancy - so sorry about your recurrence.

    I had DCIS and double mastectomy so I didn't have to deal with rads. Still got a recurrence as IDC and had to have ALND. Treatment wasn't fun, but I'm back on track again. moving ahead with my life.

    Nancy, I'm sorry to hear about your recurrence. I had a completely new cancer in my opposite breast five years after the first one.

    It's scary to start the journey again.

    My thoughts are with you.
