@jv1715 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It is always disconcerting to hear news like this, isn't it? As you can see, several people have responded with their experiences.

If you do not feel waiting is a good idea, can you see about getting a second opinion? One way I have approached such a situation with my doctors, is to ask them, "If I was your sister/mother, what would you advise?" Sometimes their response is a surprise.

Whatever you decide to do, be comfortable with it. Do you have further questions?
