no lymph nodes were involved , all tests came back negative for receptors , which i believe it was a triple negative cancer. I had 6 treatments of chemo and am now going through 6 weeks of radiation.

I'm a Breast Cancer survivor for almost 2 years. The Cancer I had was stage 2 lobular invasive and it had started going out side of the lobules, The type I had was not seen on a mammogram or ultrasound it only showed up on an MRI and only 10 to 15% are infiltrating or invasive, mine was E R positive and it is not genetic. The kind I had was estrogen fed and I am now on Femara for 5 years. They gave me Tamoxifen but I had a severe reaction to it, You didn't say if your cancer was ductal, lobular , or something else. It would be hard to say what your chances of recurrence is. Like I said about the type I had it was estrogen fed and no one in my family had this. The great thing is because of mine being what it was I don't have to worry that I passed it down to my Daughter. The BRACA1 and 2 were negative for genetics. But I do have a chance of recurrence and it coming back in different parts of my body. But that won't happen God took mine away and he won't let it come back. Sometimes we really can't get all of our questions answerd because there really is no answer why it was you, but you had the cancer cells in your body and they invaded and became cancer. What I was told was every person has Cancer cells, but not all people get cancer

It needs to be biopsied it might be cancer, sorry
2 :
It is more of a concern than someone that has not breast cancer in the past. I hope all turns out well.
3 :
Yes, a new bump may indicate a cancer relapse, but I am sure your mother is aware of the situation and is taking care of it.
4 :
There are two diffferent kinds of breast cancer lumps benign & malignant. Maybe this lump is malignant which means non cancerous so maybe this will be the outcome wait for biopsy
