Susan:

I am glad you are getting another Dr to review. My experience was that good Drs encourage a patient to get second/third opinions. !st CCC I went to was great very through, 2 of the Drs came from another CCC. He said he would go to Duke to get thier opinion and find out who I was more comfortable. In fact they set it up. At Duke, which is very good, one of Dr who many years ago trained at MD Anderson, told me if I was not happy with treatment program, they would set up appts at MD Anderson. I ended up doing treatments at Duke but all the "good" doctors seemed to be interested in helping me. Maybe I was lucky. Good luck.
