In my opinion, call an oncologist and tell them you want a second opinion. If you have great hospitals near you, call the one that specializes in cancer treatments. I always thought second opinions should be neutral…. Not a colleague of the person who gave you the first opinion.. When I had my first FNA ( which showed possible
cancer cells.), I wanted to go
for a second opinion and my doctor recommended someone and said she would send the slides to the doctor to read. I could not understand how this was a second opinion…. Reading the same material and saying they agree with their colleague? I chose to go to a cancer hospital and have them evaluate the situation. I did not have to have my whole thyroid removed and was able to wait. 10 years later the nodule was removed with partial thyroidectomy and it did have cancer….. still better than removing entire organ. You can ask your insurance company what you need to do for second opinions but I am pretty sure they are always covered and you just call and tell doctor that that is what you want appt for. Always better to get a second opinion when you have concerns. Good luck!
