Always get a second opinion! And Mayo, is a great place to go! Just remember these doctors are just human! And they seem to be more overwhelmed now since Covid. So it depends on what day you catch them on and how much they really wanna work on you or help you. Once again they’re just human.

I’ve had a couple of scars before and it turned out to be nothing. I’m hoping this is going to be the same thing. Just got CT scan back. Need to have doctor reevaluate because it may have been a false reading on the first abdominal ultrasound scan. Plus, I have a second doctor standing by with their opinion.
They call us patients, or I believe, the reason is because we just have to be patient with how the medical field works nowadays!

- but that is ok because I got the message anyway!
I am happy that you are getting a reevaluation of the new CT. I hope all goe s and that you and doctors will decide about possible treatment.
I commend you for being proactive and advocating for yourself and communicating with your doctors. We, the patients, and the doctors do best when we work together.
