I have read that this condition is rare but I have a biopsy for breast cancer coming up and I also have non hodgkin lymphoma. I am wondering if you can have both at the same time!

I thought I might have breast cancer because I found a mass (lump) in my left breast.
Biopsy confirmed it to be mantle cell lymphoma and not breast cancer
Yes had a node in right breast about 5 years ago. At least the good news is it’s not the same as having regular breast cancer
Thank you for your reply, good that the lymph node was not as bad as breast cancer. I am struggling to cope with two cancers at the same time. Pleased though that the Lymphoma is still in remission after 7 years. Hopefully I only have to deal with one at a time !! Angela
gotta watch out for the medical professionals.
Yes you can have lymphoma in the breast. Do you have breast implants? I am stage 4 in remission Breast Implant Associated- Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. I had breast cancer in 2012 followed by chemo then reconstruction with breast implants. All breast implants have a black box warning on them now due to them causing breast cancer,different lymphomas and especially BIA-ALCL what I have. The Allergan textured implants and all textured expanders have been recalled too.
