Mary - You are asking good questions. Keep doing that. Make your docs CONVINCE you that their recommendations are right. Make them discuss other alternatives. Get that 2nd or 3rd opinion. Its worth the money and VERY reassuring. Be fussy about who is going to read those scans and what kinds of decisions are made based on them. Always remember, tissue sample biopsy is the ONLY way to know for sure. We don't want "I think so" on this, we want "I know so". Be strong. Tom
