Got a second opinion- thank goodness!

We live in a relatively small town south of DC and have been pretty happy with our oncology surgeon and oncologist (except for him telling my husband in the hospital that people have been known to survive stage IV, as though it's pretty rare!). We were feeling like we were coordinating care between the two practitioners, without a lot of success. We were also told that if there were any mets other than in the liver, a resection would be out and we would be looking at chemo to maintain my husband as long as possible. The plan at this point is to start chemo and then rescan to see if resection is possible.

We are originally from Charlottesville, VA and had some connections at UVA so went to meet with them yesterday. It was fantastic! The new onc asked to present my husband's case at the tumor review board to see if he is a candidate for surgery now, despite some of the other potential met sites, which they would take care of while they are in there, followed by the full round of chemo afterward. Even though I'm assuming it's pretty unlikely he's ready, we were so pleased that the new onc wanted to give it a try and love the idea that they are set up to consult and communicate with each other there.

I've seen lots of people post about the benefits of getting a second or third opinion and just wanted to add in our own experience with it. As soon as we met the new onc, we were immediately comfortable and at ease with him. We felt so much hope after the consultation!

Would it be strange to tell the doctor, "You had me at tumor review board?"
