Thanks Mary Jo. Actully it was my GYN who made the referral for my second opinion mammogram when I expressed concern to him about the first one. And I did not want to wait 6 months. Like you, I have seen him since and thanked him for that. He said "I may be young but I have already learned to listen to my patients when they sense something is wrong even if it is not always obvious". We are fortunate when we have such sensitive people on our team.
