Who do I contact for advice on treatment if I have an autoimmune and breast cancer?

My oncologist doesn't have a clue what he's doing. My rheumatologist says he's not an oncologist. 

Problem:

Systemic medication contradicts autoimmune.  They've put me on another systemic medication of the same type. Im worried this medication will have the same effect (bad autoimmune reaction)

What's next?

I saw Oncologist yesterday,  no answers. He's waiting to hear from my rheumatologist (rheumatologist has already said he's not an oncologist and won't give advice).

I had second opinion,  they had no idea and just said try offered medication. 

How do I find an oncologist with experience in autoimmune?? Otherwise Im waiting months to start essential treatment.  Im happy to pay for a private consultation but who do I pay? How do I find the appropriate Dr?

Any help appreciated.
