We've spent a good bit of time this week trying to figure out if we can get a second opinion, if we should get a second opinion, who we should get a second opinion with, etc., etc.
I've discovered that I have some options through my health insurance to go to one of several Cancer Centers across the country. I could go there for treatment or for a second opinion. This sounds like a great option but the logistics are still cumbersome. MD Anderson was closed until today because of Hurricane Ike. I entered a self-referral through their website, though. I talked to the University of Nebraska Cancer Center in Omaha. Their next available appointment date is October 8th. It's clear a 2nd opinion -- at least from one of these facilities -- will delay treatment.
I went to KU Med Center for my PET Scan and Chest CT today. I guess I'll get the results tomorrow.
