Thank you for sharing your very helpful knowledge!
We actually went for a "virtual" second opinion last summer at Cleveland Clinic when they couldn't determine the primary cancer here. That was a waste of time as all they did was agree with the doctor here... who had not even requested a CA19-9 because he didn't think this acted like pancreatic cancer. Second opinion didn't ask for that test either. We switched oncologists after they treated Dan with chemo and immunotherapy for lung cancer... which did nothing except made him wait months more for a proper diagnosis. CA19-9 numbers were over 39000 ... and even to someone like us with no medical knowledge... that pointed at the pancreas as a primary.
