Multiple types, multiple sites

Hi, 

I had a bilateral mastectomy in April 2010.  It confirmed 2 areas of ILC in right breast as well as LCIS.  Left breast 7x4x5cm DCIS, some LCIS and a surprise--Paget's of the Nipple.  Nothing in the lymph nodes.  When doing a bone scan to rule out metastasis prior to the surgery, they found a lesion that was suspicious for bone cancer (chondrosarcoma).  The doctor suggested redoing the tests in 6 months which I did on Wed. and the doc basically confirmed that the lesion is malignant.  He ordered a PET scan in 2 weeks to decide how to proceed.

My main question is: does anyone have multiple sites and types and did your docs tell you whether it affected your survival rate?  

Can anyone point me to a mortality calculator for multiple cancers like the one they use for breast cancer? (lifemath.net/cancer/breast)

Thanks so much,

    When all your tests are completed, your doctor (s) should have enough info to provide an answer to your risk questions.  Your might Google the MD Anderson Cancer Center & the MayoClinic to see if they have online risk calculators.
