I was diagnosed with a cancer in my breast in August. It turned out to not be 'normal' breast cancer but a small cell neuroendocrine tumour as well as a ductal cancer.
I have had surgery to remove the tumour, sentinel nodes showed cancer cells. So, an auxiliary node clearance was done, there was no cancer in the remaining nodes.
I have now been prescribed chemotherapy for breast cancer, the type of tumour that was in my breast is normally found in somewhere like the lung. It has been acknowledged that it is very rare to have this kind of tumour as a primary in the breast. There is no definitive treatment for it. I am concerned that I am being given 'routine' breast cancer treatment and that there maybe alternative chemotherapy treatments.
Does anyone think that I should seek a 'second opinion' on whether the right treatment program is being given ?
