@slanpac2024 So you second opinion with Emory will be on 10/8? That's good that it is scheduled. Will you see a gyn-oncologist? Presumably your slides have been sent to Emory for their pathologists to read? Hopefully the provider at Emory will spend the time with you to answer all of your questions and explain whether they would recommend. If I read your note correctly the Emory appointment is 2 days before going back to the original surgeon? That's actually a good thing because then you can compare and decide what you'd like to do next.
As a 1099 does that mean you work under a contract and not a regular full-time employee? Do you get your health care insurance from another source? Presumably your health care insurance will pay for the second opinion at Emory. You might want to call your insurance company about Mayo Clinic to make sure you are covered there. This health care insurance gets very complicated especially when you go out of state or for a second or third opinion.
