Dear Cathy,
From your last posting it seems that you are ashamed for your doctor that you had a second opinion.
The strongest advise I have for you is to be honest to any doctor about the treatment or advise that your getting.
Doctors are not the ones standing above you and telling you what to do!
Their job is to inform you about possible treatment options, adverse effects, etc.
They should also respect you wanting a second opinion.
The only good relation between doctor and patient is that the patient feels free and comfortable to speak their mind and a doctor who is willing to listen, answer your questions and chers in your concern.
Getting a second opinion is not like "cheating" on your doctor.
Don't hold back any information about the medication you want/take!
They need to know!
Choose the doctor that you feel most comfortable with.
Good luck, and remember you are the patient and the one in charge.
