Hi lybrate-user its sad to hear about the disease recurrence in the operated breast but the good news is that it has recurred after a gap of 6 years. Which suggest good biology of the disease. Perhaps she has previously underwent left breast conservation surgery and I hope her previous biopsy report was tumor free and she had undergone podt op radiotherapy. Well following a diagnosis of breast carcinoma there is life long risk of recurrence in the oposite normal and in the operated breast. However most recurences ocur within 2 years of initial surgery. So perhaps this is a new tumor in the left breast. All investigations (mamogram; biopsy;bone scan; lft;tc/dc etc )need to be repeated and distant metastasis to be ruled out. Its produent to get mastectomy done this side.
