It takes a while to process it and wrap your mind around it.

I didn't get a second opinion with breast cancer and I should have done so the first time around. Maybe I would not have recurred had I gotten that second opinion and chose another route of treatment. This last time, with the thymoma, I did do a second that confirmed the first. The pathology turned out to be just a bit different than the first; to my favor. I'm now convinced of my diagnosis and have chosen how I will deal with it.

You said you feel you want a second and I say by all means do so! It's your body and your right to have all the information necessary to make decisions.

I'm in the 'watchful waiting' mode for the thymoma and doing the every three month testing, so I can empathize with that part of your siutation. I'm sorry:grouphug: Please, if you need to talk don't hesitate to PM me.
