Had 3 cancers and following surgery was given the all clear, but at the 12 month stage I was told that the cancer had returned. Not just one place but 6 different places, and yesterday I was told that my suspicions that I had bone cancer on the cheek bone was confirmed. My oncologist seems to be calling all the shots/treatments and they want to see how the new cancer will react to chemotherapy. The chemotherapy will not start for another 6 weeks and I am not sure that is the best option. The new cancer I has been visible for just 3 weeks and I know that surgery is a very good option. What are my rights, can I change who is leading on my treatment? Insist on surgery? Bit new to this…. Been given less than 12 months to live, but the original consultant thinks I will have longer.
