I might look into that.
I second that! You really should do this! My mom was diagnosed with cancer when a specialist checked her lymph knots. She got a second opinion, from a doc with less reputation but apparently more skills. Luckily it was something else.
What I am saying is that the human body is unbelievable complex and sometimes people make mistakes. But this is your body and your life, better take no chances.

She mentioned a guy who is 30 and has testicular cancer and he is in his 3rd treatment now. With no hair loss, gaining a few kilos and doing really well apparently.
I have some friends who work as nurses. I give a lot on their medical opinions, as they are the people who see patients the most, much longer than docs. Always good to hear experiences from people who fight on the front lines.

Ich drücke dir weiter die Daumen und hoffe dass du am Mittwoch mehr Klarheit bekommst! Versuche den Kopf etwas freizuhalten, wie du es die letzten Tage gemacht hast. Du kannst im Moment nur abwarten, lass dich nicht davon verrückt machen. Und wie Jim und Castout sagen: bleib postitiv! Sehe das bitte nicht als leere Phrasen, sondern als ehrliche Wünsche die vom Herzen kommen - auch wenn wir uns leider nicht persönlich kennen.
Alles Gute, du wirst den verdammten Krebs versenken!
