The fact that the tumor is very small is good from a prognostic and a treatment stand point.
If you are like me, you are probably wild to move forward after all the lost time. Getting a second opinion (especially if the treatment will not be at an official CCC) is probably worth it. It is important to get it right!
Best wishes - we'll do our best to help!
