god bless and do ask for a second opinion. step father was diagnosed with colon, kidney, lung, liver and brain tumors. They weren't going to do anything for him, but then he seemed to be getting better mentally after a few weeks. As it turns out he had colon cancer. It had metastasized to his liver. There was no brain involvement - they do make mistakes - he'd had a minor stroke - and the mass on his kidney was scar tissue - they removed a small part of his liver, colon, and a bit of his lung - and he lived for another 8 years - and it wasn't cancer that took him - when they went in to remove his kidney - they had already started cutting before realizing it was scar tissue so they removed it. A year ago he got sick - ended up in the hospital and the one kidney he had couldn't help him fight the infection he had. A second opinion will definitely not hurt.
