Can One Person Suffer From Both Triple-negative Breast Cancer And Ductal Carcinoma Breast Cancer?
I am wondering if there are any statistics on a person who has two different types of breast cancer - the first was ductal carcinoma, lumpectomy, chemo and radiation on left breast and 8 years later TNBC - no lymph node involvement - double mastectomy, trans flap reconstruction, 4 rounds of taxotere - having to be desensitized due to allergic reaction - Researching this type of cancer does not look good but I can t find any statistics on a person who has had two different types of breast cancer.

i dont understand why you think you have two types of cancers. Histology is different from harmone receptor expression. your tumor type is ductal carcinoma. breast cancer expresses harmone receptors and they have prognostic significance. triple negative means that harmone receptors are not expressed on cancer cells. Ductal carcinoma which is triple negative
