I have seen Dr. Cosgrove @compass Oncology in Vancouver, Wa.
He told me yesterday after getting the gene testing that he feels my C is from my anal cancer in 2019. ???
He said if I don’t do the treatment I may live 9-12 mos. If I do the treatment I may live 1-2 yrs. OMG
The treatment is very toxic & could also kill me.
I was hoping I could get a 2nd opinion from your clinic?
Thank you for reaching out to me. Yes I am in a pretty sad emotional state.
Shannon

@shannynicksen , They should be able to tell from the cells if it is anal cancer that has metastasized to the lung or a separate lung cancer. I'm sorry that you are facing this. It's tough. Treatments for all cancers have improved, and the statistics are lagging behind today's reality. Not everyone conforms to the statistics either. Try to gather all of the information that you can before making any decisions.
I am a volunteer, and don't work for Mayo Clinic, but this link takes you to a page where you can request an appointment:

Also, this is a link to the NIH cancer centers across the US. There is one in Seattle:
