    not that combo
    My aunt had uterine cancer (27) then breast cancer (47). That was 10 years ago. They were separate cancers 20 years apart.

    I was told...
    that there is a connection between breast, uterine and ovarian cancer. May have been due to hormone receptive nature of these cancers.

    I had DCIS Jan 08 surgery ,
    I had DCIS Jan 08 surgery , radiation, tamoxifen May 2011 total hysterectomy (back on Tamox) I HAD MY dr take ovaries (NO NEED TO FOR THEM) I had Thickening of Uterus!

    I figured he was not getting me back in for surgery at later date so take it while there.

    Haven't
    Dear Ballerina,

    Breast cancer is the only kind I have. It is not that uncommon to have a 2nd type of cancer or even a 3rd type. I dated a man who had 3 different cancers and only one of them went terminal. My dad had two types and a recurrence of one of them, but not stage IV.

    One can't predict the future and it's best not to dwell on what might never happen. We all have just today.

    Best,

    Doris
