I had Hodgkins at age 19 and had 5 weeks of radiation. At 48 got breast cancer from the radiation. Had a single masectomy and flap reconstruction. Does anyone know what the chances are that I will get breast cancer in the second breast.
Thanks Jude

    Would love to hear from you and to hear how things are?

    I have a very similar story.
