When you asked about the efudex treatment I posted to you it would be hell but others disagreed. They made it sound like a walk in the park. I understand your plight and know what you are going through. Have hope, it will all be over soon.

I am going to a doctor for a problem. After a CT scan, a CT/PEP scan, and an MRI, they want to do something that I am not excited about so I asked about getting a second opinion. I was told by the doctor that I could but after the second doctor sees my scans they are going to recommend the same thing. The English version of the scans back him up.

He also said that there was a time when the insurance companies made you go for a second opinion (back in the 80s I think) and the insurance companies finally decided that the original doctor was usually right and it was costing them money so they stopped the requirement. I remember having to go for a couple of the second opinions and it cost the insurance company money and me a lot of lost work time.

I guess somewhere along the line you have to decide that the doctor knows what he is doing and that he has your best interest in his decision to do what he is doing.

Maybe I an just naive.
