I'm sorry to read that your ATCL has returned, but getting a second opinion is always a very good idea. In fact, considering your situation I would suggest more than one second opinion. And I would also suggest looking into clinical trials; your health will be very closely monitored in such a trial, more closely than you'll get almost anywhere else.
