I guess it might be helpful to go elsewhere, when I first thought about my doctors partner I just figured that there is no reason to believe they would concur for the sole reason thet they are in the same practice. From what I have reasearched so far his current plan seems to be what is standard practice. I will have more to go on as soon as I get the PET/CT scan. I am certainly not ruling out going elsewhere...just taling one step at a time. After the Pet results I will take that and the path report to get the second opinion.
