[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 156470, member: 455"] Lisa, My heart breaks for you, it really does. Follow your gut/mom instincts and get that second opinion. As others have said, you can always cancel IF you need to but I got a feeling you're not going to have to. Just make sure who ever you are making the second opinion with is not working with/for or near the others. You will want some one completely independent of them. As Star said, you could tell them you are seeking a second opinion as well. I've done that and had mixed results. I've had a doctor come right out and say something to me "well if you don't trust me then you can just leave and find someone else because you have to trust me or else this won't work (the patient relationship - regarding my middle difficult child and surgery)". I should have run at that statement right there. I have since learned that any doctor worth their salt welcomes a second opinion (it actually makes them feel good when they are seconded that they are right). Good Luck! In the mean time, here's to hoping Travis doesn't get sick before this all gets settled better! [/QUOTE]
