So, what do you do when doctors are telling you two different things? How do you know who is correct? Help!!

Hi...I thought I would share a link to our main site under Patient Resources; select Treatment options for some topics that my be helpful including questions to ask your doctor.

We also have a library of patient webinars on many topics that may be helpful as well.

This is a tough one Mary...and one I have seen at BAF before...some go and get a 3rd opinion...and sometimes we have to research and go with our gut and what is best for us...~ So sorry this is happening...sending some positive vibes for answers your way ~ Colleen
It will workout for the best whatever happens in life. Gods watching over you.
Mom...stop. I'm 42 years old. I've got this.
Mary...
Whatever subject / issue...have you researched it on-line...to enhance your questions to the docs...and/or ask about the testing or treatment you have found on-line...
There are tremendous sources in all the med schools...and from Mayo to the Merck Manual...to MedlinePlus to PubMed... thus, lots to compare...
Also suggest you have an advocate with you at your appointments w/the docs...
If you do a second opinion...you may want to research autobios....particularly to determine where each had their residency, their various associations/organizations, fellowships, etc...
And, there is that old "a picture is worth a thousand words"...yet "one picture will not tell the full story"...
Hope you have gotten your med rad records...those can be of high interest in how they may be edited...
Wishing you your best results...and that you will keep us updated...

Yeah, you do whatever you think is best for YOU....hey, at least there are options, right? Peace, Janet
