wrong diagnosis

has anyone been diagnosed with one kind of cancer then found out they had another kind? I was disgnosed with carcinoid then after 7 years I had my slide checked to find out Ki67 strength as I was atypical. It came back I wasn't a carcinoid but instead a non-small cell.I am very confused and anxious.

Re: wrong diagnosis

well I had 2 different kinds of cancer but it is always wise to also get a 2nd oppion :) ask questions too. If you get 2 Dr.s who don't agree then get a 3rd. they are all out to help . They can only figure out what is going on by the information they get scans,labs etc. so they put it together the best they can. The bigger the puzzle the harder it is. A lot of cancers also memic each other so they do the best they can. good luck
