Thats not an easy decision. If you feel comfortable in the results of your 2 appointments then relax and go on with your regular life. But... if you still feel anxious about the "spot" then yes, absolutely seek another qualified physicians opinion. Its always better to play it safe than look back and have regrets. One more cant hurt anything. At the same time at what point will you be satisfied your spot is really is exactly what the doctors described? You definitely have a difficult decision to make!!!

I think if it were me and knowing what I do about OC, I would try one more specialist and then let it go if they say the same thing. OC does not always hurt or show symptoms which is why its often not discovered until its later stages. If you choose to try another doc, I advise you to not say a word about being seen by any other doctors. You want to get a completely independent exam and opinion without any preconceived ideas about what the spot is. I would then ask if the doctor if they were 100% sure of what the spot is. If so, are they willing to put it in writing and if not insist on a biopsy.

Im very sorry if my answer was as clear as mud!!!
