Having a rare diagnosis is even more challenging than the already huge challenge you have faced. I hope things go well for you as there are so many new treatments available these days for all breast cancer subtypes. Some places specialize so travel could potentially be a factor.

I think MD ANDERSON in Houston is a go to for this diagnosis… if memory serves me…

I do not have experience with this myself.

I hope you find the one who can treat you medically as well as a mentor. Meantime come back here for support. 🌸

This is Mulkey518 - I had my Second Opinion from my original First Breast Cancer Medical Oncologist who had presented my case to their medical group. She relayed the information on from a Medical Oncologist in the medical who had experienced with Sarcoma. His findings were because my tumor was 1.5 -and because I had cancer of the blood vessels that were contained in the breast that was removed — and because I was Stage 1 - and since my margins were clean — and since there are no Studies to support whether Chemo treatment will or will not help - his summation is to do nothing but monitor how I’m doing without taking Chemo. He stated why take me thru Chemo when there is no solid evidence of its performance. So now I have to mull over this doctor’s recommendation. However, Medicare will allow you to get 3 opinions when you have a rare cancer. So I have 2 other Medical Oncologist that I am schedule to see. Have anyone in this group heard of just monitoring a cancer diagnosis???!
