Dx with uterine cx 5 years ago, newly dx with breast cancer
Has any had breast cancer after having uterine cancer? I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2018. Just diagnosed with breast cancer in May. Has anyone been through this?

Sorry to hear you have to deal with this! There are other women here who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer after endometrial. Primavera comes to mind. You can search her story, or I think you can message her. I think she was on the board recently. I hope she comments. Treatment for breast cancer has greatly improved.

So sorry to hear this! Praying your new diagnosis will turn out to be small and curable!

Hi, Denise
I’m sorry to hear this, too.
You might have seen my recent posts about a new lung cancer diagnosis after Stage II Fallopian tube, secondary peritoneal in 2020. My research tells me as many as 1 in 6 former cancer patients will develop a new primary cancer at some point. Also, regardless of original cancer site….colon, gastric, liver, bladder, kidney….54% will develop primary lung cancer.
When you were treated for your uterine cancer did they do genetic testing? I think there’s a genetic link between breast and GYN cancers, involving the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. I hope Primavera responds.
I totally emphasize with the overwhelming feeling of, “Really? What now?? We’re doing this again??” It’s horrible.
Best of luck to you. Prayers and hugs.
❤️, A
