Like everyone else I'm shocked to read your post . Ricky's point is valid - you have every right to know what their diagnosis is, and the evidence for their treatment. You should insist on a second opinion from a UK expert, all documentation can be sent securely on the internet. X Rays can be transmitted over the internet. You may also not realise that if any biopsies (tissue samples) have been taken, or there has been surgically removed tissue, the microscope slides can be posted, or securely transferred more rapidly, for a second opinion. It may be that the diagnosis depends on examination of those slides. This is not to alarm you into thinking the diagnosis and treatment is wrong, but hopefully to reassure you that they have got it right.
