more risk if recent basal cell carcinoma?

more risk if recent basal cell carcinoma?

Forgot to mention...had basal cell carcinoma removed from the center of my forehead in October...mohs surgery...that was scary enough, and now this...does anyone know/think there is more of a chance that this microcalcification cluster could be cancer now too?  The radiologist didn't put a birad #...just put suspicious...and also on the mammo report was 'high risk due to recent skin cancer'

hmmm. I had a basal cell removed from the left cheek of my face 10 yrs ago and i'd had it for over 10 years. took years to get a Doctor to pay attention to the small tiny dot that grew and grew. finally got it looked at and out with MOHS surgery.
now dont' fret. that note was so anyone reading your results would be aware of your past. it's always important. Talk to your Doctor about this and make sure you ask all the questions you want answers to. good luck

Thanks for your input...I think at this point I'm a bit paranoid and really tired of hearing how 'we better do a biopsy'...and then the agonizing wait for results

Basal cell carcinoma on the skin does not have any correlation with BC.  Basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas are usually a result of sun exposure.  I work for a derm and if that were the case an equal number of men would have breast cancer.
