@reggie3 I've just caught up with this post and feel absolutely sick for you over what you've had to go through. We need to be our own advocates but it is so hard when you're in such turmoil. I am very pleased to read that your care team took up on your behalf and organised a second opinion. You need to be able to trust your medical team as they literally hold your life in their hands and you were never going to be able to have confidence in that surgeon - I can't believe that he would go in a second time without proper checks. The bastard should be hung out to dry. No doubt so impressed with himself that he can't believe anyone would question him.
And I know that you have faith in your GP but seriously, this should indicate second thoughts in referring anyone else to the dickhead.
Take care and look forward to a better outcome.
