Re: 2nd opinion question?
Chelee,
Any particular reason for just this Onc as a second opinion? Would there be another suitable Onc you could use that may can get you in earlier? I would think the same thing that I wouldn't want to wait another 2.5 weeks for an appointment but I'm also only at the beginning of this journey. You could look for the earlier appt. while still leaving the appt open with this onc as a fall back. Though only at the beginning of this journey I have learned in this short time that since I'm the one that has to live the consequences therefore I'm the one that's has to be in the driver seat. You've done great so far pushing your current onc. What's a little more push on another one :-)
