Makes sense Leslie. I guess I always assumed that the second opinion was for treatment recommendations. The scheduling person at Sloan said she has seen it go both ways. Situations like you described and then folks who were told they had cancer but didn't. That's why they insist on reading all their own stuff. Apparently, before we even get there they are looking it over for their own thoughts on it.

The ENT guy said his practice(three guys) sees about one case of oral cancer a year. Sloan sees 3500. A bit of a difference. The strong message you guys sent me about where people should go is so important. I hope the word is out there.
The possibility of mistakes on something so important is scary.
