Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

I have the milk ducts removed from my right breast 4 years ago because of a bloody dishcarge, then 2 years ago I had a bloody discharge and lump in my left breast and then had a mastectomy. My question is - can I get cancer in my right breast now that the milk ducts have been removed

Greetings. I appreciate your concern. If the earlier diagnosis was of cancer then there are chances that u can get a recurrence of cancer. Otherwise there is little or no risk of getting cancer. So you need not to worry.
