Is it possible to get breast cancer twice?

Yes: Any woman with a history of breast cancer is considered to be at risk for developing a second breast cancer. This risk varies between 0.5% and 3% per year after the original diagnosis, depending upon the age of the woman and the type of breast cancer she had.

Yes: It's possible to get breast cancer in the opposite breast, and it's possible to get a recurrence of breast cancer in the residual breast after conservative surgery and radiation. It's also possible after a mastectomy to have recurrence on the chest wall.

Yes , unfortunately: It could happen in 2 different scenarios- first scenario- recurrence of disease. Can hapen locally on the same breast or comes back on different area on the body ( metastatic disease). Second scenario- a second breast cancer. Which means this tumor is not related to the first breast cancer- can happen on the same breast or the other breast.
