mmelindas... holy moly... how scary! Sounds like you've gotten some great advice from these knowledgeable people... I just want to reiterate that if you are not comfortable with the docs opinion then DO get a second one! I have learned to be VERY proactive with my health... I had a wonderful doctor who moved to AZ due to insurance rates here in CA... I then went thru 4 doctors until I found one I feel completely comfortable with and trust. I'm sure the other 4 were great docs... but I didn't feel comfortable with them for various reasons (one did my pap without ever calling me by name or making eye contact... and this was my 1st visit! )

a second opinion can do much for your peace of mind and sure won't hurt anything!

hugs and keep us posted...
