my husband used doctors in Des Moines and never went for second opinions, not a lot of options here in the middle of nowhere!

I can see why you would want a second opinion. For other illnesses around here, people go to Mayo Clinic for second opinions. It's a least worth checking out.

My husband is being used as a case study since his treatment went so well. I need to look back to see your diagnosis as I can't remember.

Best wishes.....
