Second, and third opinions are always good! So is some in-your-face insistance at times.

Local hospital here diagnosed/treated a friend as having a "kidney infection" for over a year before he went to Anchorage for a second opinion. Bladder cancer. He now pees into a leg-bag. If it had been diagnosed correctly at first, he would likely have been OK- or at least better off.

Good luck with Beth's treatment. Wish you-all the best.
