    gosh, I am sorry you're going through this.  I hope you're getting some answers by your doctors by now. I know with the holidays the boards have been a bit quiet.  I am certain someone who has had this occur will be in soon to chime in and give some insight. Keep us posted.

    Oh, I am so sorry. I had a malignant melanoma at age 27, and was just diagnosed with breast cancer at age 59. So not exactly the same. Let us know how we can help you, but I can tell you that cancer is very treatable now and I wish you all the best.

    My first diagnosis was at age 32, triple negative. Then age 39 another diagnosis but slightly ER+.

    My first treatment was lumpectomy, SNB(only 2 and they were negative), chemo and rads. With 2nd diagnosis it was mast with prophilactic mast of other side, hyst and chemo.

    Best wishes to you. This crap ain't easy or fun but somehow you find a way to do what you have to at times

    My first dx was at 33 and I was dx with a recurrence at 36, I don't know the extend yet but I know it is in my chest bone for sure.

    Sorry you have to deal with this again it is not fair to do it twice at a young age.

    Stay strong!!!

    Twice under 40 (1 year appart). I’m in my mid 30s

    Female Athlete, mine came back in the same location too (right under the skin, looked like a grain of rice). My BS thinks they were cancer cells left behind during the original punch biopsy. Now to radiation with an implant that I just got a couple of months ago :

    Dtad no I didn' t have symptoms until now. I went for my annual MRI and an intramammary lymph node showed as reactive with thickened cortex so I was sent for biopsy (FNA) and came back negative so I was told to repeat the MRI 3 months later and that's when the chest wall showed up. I have been tired for the pat 6 months but I have been busy and always on the go.

    do you have any concerns or symptoms? if so talk yo your doctor.
