SISTERS I NEED YOUR HELP! but have vent before i go crazy!

Hello Ladies first of all I would like to say I am so glad to find you just wish it was under happier circumstances. My journey with cancer started in 2009 when I was diagnoised with colon cancer stage4 and i beat it praise god. My surgeon was a well respected brother over 20 years in surgical oncology wondeful bedside manner well liked by my family and I trusted him with my life more than once and always had great results okay june of 2011 I have a petscan done and I am told my left breast is lighting up everywhere but he's more than sure it's a cyst but just to make sure i agreed on having a ultrasound anyway they asked me if i wanted to have a mamogram done since it had been a year so i said okay. Thats when I was told there was something in my breast that didn't look like the  other cyst. So I was told that in his opinon I needed  a biopsy so this is what he was going to recommend to my doctor. Because my family and I trusted my surgeon so much

his office sceduled all my SCANS except my bloodwork. So I was told I needed a biopsy becuse it was a 3. I was told I was fine it was a fibroda. Fastforward 5 months later I see this lump like sitting so close to my skin and Iam freaking it's not moving and I know i need to call my surgeon. So I call and they give me an appointment to see him the following monday.

He tells me I don't know what it is but it needs to come out so I am trying to keep from getting hysterical amd I say if you don't know what it is why does it have to come out so he says i need another biopsy. Fastfoward a week later he tells me I have breast cancer 4cm stage11 no nodes involved. So I end up having a lumpectomy. THREE weeks after the lumpectomy a lump forms in the same spot where the lumpectomy was performed I am devaststed I knew something was wrong. I went back to my surgeon that day he wouldn't even look at me or the lump and I  said to him whats does this new lump mean that i still have cancer in my breast? He never once looked at me he kept looking straight at the wall and said you are going to need chemo and radiation and I said for stage 11 with no node involvement? HE never answered me my gut knew something was very wrong! ANYWAY my mom lives in florida and I told my mom to ask so of her friends who had  breast cancer what doctor the went too so my mom asked around and made me an appointment and i went straight to florida because i just didn't trust la doctors anymore

my florida oncologist as soon as he read my reports he said these don't make any sense you tell me what happen so i told him and then he asked me to get undressed so he could examine me as soon as he saw the spot he said there is cancer still in your breast and its on your skin i am going to send you to our surgeon. When i saw the surgeon he said the same thing be did a punch biopsy the tumor was 6cm and i was stage 3b. I almost died how could i trust somebody so much and he do something like this to me my oncologist and surgeon both belive it was too soon to be a recuurance they believe he missed it. I HAD 8 rounds of chemo and my surgoen wants me to have a masectomy because of I had lumpectomy and rexcision by my first surgeon and because of skin involvement I am suppose to have this surgery sept.5 but i don't trust doctors anymore

sorry this post was so long i am just so sad and feel stupid for trusting someone i thought had my best interest at heart. thank you for taking the time to read
