get a second opinion or not

[keegan55]

Hello I have not been on in awhile just feeling so tired and hurting
It has been six weeks since I had surgery where i lost 1/2 of right lower lobe and a small part of right middle they also biopsied all the lymph nodes in the mediastinum still have one node in left but i have so much pain under breast area thought I would be better by now. My surgeon sent referral to a DR dealing in Gpa and also affiliated with Duke should I get his opinion or not. Right now only on 15 mg mtx I have taken so much pred for psoriatic arthritis in my life plus I have diabetes.

Definately get a second opinion. Two brains are better than one and the other doc may have another perspective. I would suggest seeking out an academic setting for a second opinion. Where are you located Keegan?

Yes to the second opinion.

I agree to a 2nd opinion, and what can it hurt - you either get the same answer or find out something different :wink1:
