Why would you not try to get that second opinion if it is physically possible. That way you have no regrets that you have made an informed decision. I know that the time frame is an issue but I think I would juggle appointments however to see the doc at U of M. Some here have gotten 5 or 6 opinions (See DavidCPA).
I know this is so wrenching and hard but you might not get another chance to change your mind....good luck,
Deb
