I had
breast cancer in 2008. It was the second time around on the same bbreast! The doctors told me that it wasn't a metastasis, but a second primary.
The first time it was in 1998, and I had a lumpectomy, radiation, and took Tamoxifen for five years.
The second time, although the cancer was quite small, since I couldn't have radiation on the same breast, I had a mastectomy, and reconstruction.
I have been been taking Arimidex, since the summer of 2008.
