I am unsure how they determine whether you can or can't have a bilateral publically. I would assume it has something to do with your pathology etc. Anyway it certainly can't hurt to ask. It really is such a hard time when you are first diagnosed. Once you are armed with the facts and get a chance to have a chat with a surgeon hopefully they will be able to allay your fears and answer your questions.
I think the appointment with the other surgeon is a great idea. At least you can maybe be better prepared for your public appointment.
Good luck.
