I think what Waldeau is confronted with is the fact that they are currently in treatment. How can they stop the IMRT treatments to run off for a second opinion? I assume she wants to get through the IMRT before seeking out the other options.

Thats a tough call. I would definitly start looking for folks with some sort of exertise in this particular mets to the lungs problem. I would get as many referals as I could and start thinking about who I would go and see. Some might be able to give some guidence just from the information you can send them, so I would ask my current medical folks to put together a disc that you can send out with all your reports and film on it. I would start with that ASAP.

At some point you will have to get to another facility to have them make a more definative call. I would not let your current folks make that call as they do not seem to know what to do.

I would sart getting discs out to as many folks as I could as soon as I could. At least you will start to get an idea of who can help and who can't
