I didn’t realize you’re in Canada, I’m Canada too, only that i’m In the Toronto area. Can you ask your family doctor to refer you to an oncologist outside of your hospital for a second opinion? A friend of mine saw a specialist but she wasn’t convinced of the diagnosis, so she got referred to a surgeon at Princess Margaret Hospital which is the cancer research hospital in the Toronto area. She had to wait six weeks for the referral to go through but she did get her second opinion. Can something similar be done in your area? However, there will certain be a wait and I’m not sure if you want to wait any more than absolutely necessary.

Just my two cents’ worth. I hope it helps.
