Re: Can your family dr non gyn count as a 2nd opinion?

There is no reason to stop at second opinions. I saw a gynecologist who told me my problems were just with referred pain from my back and IBS. I told my GP about it, and he thought the gynecologist was probably right, but after I asked again, he referred my to another gynecologist for a third opinion (2nd gynecological opinion). She did a transvaginal u/s, endometrial biopsy, and some blood work. What she saw on the u/s and my bloodwork led her to believe I might have had ovarian cancer, so she referred me to a gynecological oncologist (my fourth opinion and third gynecological opinion). He also thought I had a good chance of having ovarian cancer. I sent the results the second gynecologist got from the tests to my GP who concurred with the 2nd two gynecologists. That gave me 3 opinions that I needed to have a hysterectomy! I think it's always good to involve or keep your GP informed of your gynecological issues and procedures. As for second opinions, when it comes to something like surgery, I like to have at least two specialists provide an opinion. I did the same with neurosurgeons and my back surgery! Just my opinion.

Re: Can your family dr non gyn count as a 2nd opinion?

Luckily it's been light, but I've been bleeding again since last week, sitting here with a migraine from the blood loss, and just weak. my dr bills are already enormous and I guess deep down I just want relief. That's why I'm hesitant about traveling, about any 2nd, 3rd opinions, cause i've been suffering a long time.
