Is it common to develop multiple types of cancer?

Yes, unfortunately I am one who has had multiple cancer diagnoses. First cervical then a neuroendocrine tumor in my left lung, breast cancer right breast and multiple sites of melanoma and basal cell. None of these are related and occurred roughly 25-30 years apart. I smoked for twenty years and stopped in 1988.

I've never smoked, but my parents did so growing up. I was exposed to this secondhand no lung cancer. Thank God. But I did have a melanoma state 0, and now I've been diagnosed with, neuroendocrine tumor. I go for an MRI at the end of the month.

Oh yeah, and this is a year apart.

I had a neuroendochrine tumor removed Oct 2024. I have scans every 3 months. What size is your tumor?

Well great news the one scan i had came back negative, I go for the results today for the last scan ,

While having multiple types of cancer can understandably feel overwhelming, it does happen and each situation is unique to the individual. The medical team will be able to provide more specific information after the MRI results, and it's encouraging that there's a solid monitoring plan in place with regular check-ups.
