Accepted Answer

Hi, your next step is to get another opinion from someone who can review your records and determine why this was done. This is difficult to answer with limited information but is sounds like you will definitely need more in terms of treatment. Either a combination of chemotherapy and/or radiation may be required. Talk to your new oncologist about these options.
