Seriously? First IDC, then DCIS, now possible DCIS again.

Has anyone had multiple new DCIS primaries rather than recurrences? I had IDC in my left breast (treated with lumpectomy and radiation ) in 2011, DCIS in left breast (treated with left-side mastectomy) in 2021, and today my radiologist found new calcifications in my right breast. I'm having a biopsy on Wednesday. She suspects it's DCIS. I'm planning on having a right-side mastectomy soon regardless. How odd is it to have breast cancer three separate times? Thanks, everyone.
