Hi Tonya! Glad to to hear the good news! I'm sorry I can't help with any chemo. advice though. I'm a big supporter of second and third opinions, but, like Vicki said, at that point it can become confusing, and possibly expensive. My own thoughts-in your case, if the third opinion differs from the first two, then you might have to get a fourth opinion. It can get crazy. We got many second and third opinions, but we always gave the most credence to the older and most experienced onc. in the case of a "tie". Having said that, our older guy did stay current and would often use a phrase that separates the men from the boys, "I don't know". He was/is in the top of his field, but still willing to admit that he "did not know" and we always trusted him. Other docs. would know everything and blow smoke at us from all different directions, but the guy that "didn't know" was always right. Just my experience, mind you, but it showed us he was an honest man. I'll be praying for you to receive an answer.
