We are fellow OC patients/survivors and caregivers without the benefit of years of medical school and hands on practice. After being on this site for years, Ive learned quite alot about OC but still not enough to give my 2 cents. If I were in your shoes, I would probably seek out a second opinion at a CCC before committing to a treatment plan. But time is important too, I wouldnt advise waiting more than 2 weeks for the second opinion. You dont want the risk the chance of the cancer growing and becoming more difficult to treat.
Your situation isnt easy at all. I wish I could help you more with everything you are facing.
PS... Dont worry too much about posting in the right place. I can always move your post if needed.
