Diagnosed with breast cancer & primary lung cancer: Next steps?

Barbara, @bdurel, You've had a rough few months, two cancers, but also lucky to have found them both. Lung cancer can be difficult to diagnose in people that aren't screened on a regular basis. It was comforting to know that my case was being reviewed by a tumor board, the more input the better. I'm looking forward to hearing how your oncology appointment goes. It sounds like you've had a lung biopsy, have you already had a PET scan? Do you have the same oncologist treating both the breast and lung cancers?

Hi. Thank you for your reply. Yes I feel fortunate that the lung cancer was found. I had a PET Scan just over a week ago but have had no feed back regarding results. The lung Dr just told me once he had that he’d present my case to tumor board. I don’t actually even have an oncologist yet. I had a breast surgeon who did lumpectomy and now I have a radiation oncologist who is doing radiation. Those are the only 2 Dr’s at Valor Oncology. My PCP referred me to the lung Dr and that’s really my entire team at this time. Once I hear what the tumor board recommends I think I’ll have UCSF give me a second opinion. I’m hoping to hear the tumor board’s findings today but no word as yet.
