After a double mastectomy w/o metastasizing, what is the risk of another primary malignancy? |
My friend had cancer in one breast, and opted for a double mastectomy. All nodes were clear, and the second breast had no cancer. The doctor says she's in the clear, and won't need chemo or radiation. Now she wants to know if her risk of developing cancer elsewhere as another primary tumor is more, less or the same as someone who never had cancer at all. Does anyone know where to look for this info? Some people can have a second or even third primary cancer. There are 'no rules' or any guarantees. With breast cancer some people develop a second cancer after treatment. Its possible but you never know till your friend gets tested. I would recommend her to see physician every once a month since she is not clear of her situation. But then the doctor told her she's clear. I have seen a doctor for cancer and radiated as well couple of years ago and Im still not sure if Im safe . I still go to doctor every month to reassure my health and make sure cancer cells dont return. |
