I have had 3 biopsy's and they all hurt. I asked my surgeon why did they hurt so much? He stated the size of the needle ( 9 ga ) may be a factor. Also, the sedative is on the surface. I didn't get a real answer. I did tell him " you would think that there would be one smart doctor in the world that could come up with a solution so that woman would not have to go thru this." Most of the surgeries, that I read about either started out with some sort of lung cancer. What is up here? Is lung cancer treatment causing breast cancer or vis versa. I started out with lung cancer went thru the chemo and radiation. Now I just had surgery to remove Pathology result: Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. Malignant and concordant. I read that radiation could also be a cause for my breast cancer. I don't know but I do know that when I go see my oncologist I am going to ask a lot of questions and do more research before doing anymore treatments. Thanks to everyone's comments I am learning more about this subject and look forward to your comments. Thanks

I don’t believe my rare neuroendocrine lung cancer and breast cancer are related. I did not have any other treatment before my breast cancer. I also have the BRCA2 and CHEK2 mutations for breast cancer. I was told between the two I had an 80% chance of getting breast cancer. I do know radiation can cause other cancer in the future but I don’t think I’m there yet. Lots of different kinds of cancer in my family. I’m betting my family has a lot of unidentified genetic mutations.
