Always get a second set of eyes on you. Second opinions are always recommneded when it ocmes to cancer..some go for 3rds, 4ths, 5ths...
Scans are a good start but the only way to tell if you have cancer or not is a biopsy...but they've got to find a place to biopsy. Get another opinion, preferrably from a well respected facility. It's not cancer until a dr says it is, so ease your mind.
Best Wishes,
Eric
