REMEMBER
If in doubt about anything, get a second opinion. Diagnosis is a scary time and it can seem like everything is happening quickly. But quite often there is time and you do have some choice. Worst-case scenario: you will have two doctors who give you the same advice, and some peace of mind. Having a medical team you trust is invaluable.
