MSSMR,
I have not heard that a second opinion excludes the Dr. from taking your case. That is one of the reasons why you are getting a second opinion. Anyone else want to chime in here?
As far as questions for the Dr. I suggest handing him your list as soon as you get in, and for you to leave spaces for answers under each question. As he is reading your questions, you could write in the answers on your sheet. That way you can look at it later when you are in a better frame of mind. You can't forget to get an answer either. It will probably seem a little strange at first, but it just may work for you, especially if you are a "Paper Person", and not a big talker.
I suggest a second opinion, and also find out how other Dr's/Facilities are treating your type of Bladder Cancer Mets.
I am able and willing to talk anytime,
Karen
