2nd opinionFaith11 said:Thanks Sherri
I've taken a few deep breaths, I know I don't have anytime to be depressed, I must continue forward and help my brother battle. After reading all the reponses I received I realized I really am not very well informed. I do not know the answers to your questions about the staging and whether it has spread elsewhere. I am trying to find out about this. My SIL tells me that he is scheduled for another scope on Tuesday 6/22, and I plan to be there with him to try and get some answers. I will let you all know what happens on tuesday and what we're told. I know everyone is suggesting a second opinion but I'm thinking the insurance he has would not be willing to pay for a second opinion, no?
Once again Thanks for the support and response.
Don't hesitate to get a second opinion, most insurance companies want you to get a second opinion.0
