As some of you know I had a very good 3+ month, post-surgery, CT Scan & Blood Work this past week.
The one issue I have never asked herein, does anyone think I need a 2nd opinion on the pathology, which I never did receive, nor was it ever recommended by my original Dr. ?
The reason I ask the question - I have spoken to a few other Dr's about treating me moving forward and all of them have said they would like the 'slides' from my hospital to have their Path Dept. take a look. Thanks.
Path Report: July 2012
5.0cm Tumor - Right Kidney
Stage 1
Grade 1
Clear Margins
No Renal

2nd opinion
M, it's understandable that prospective new docs would want to see your slides but I can't imagine why you'd need to second-guess your path report, although what "No renal" signifies escapes me.0 -
