RELIEF!!!

I'm super excited!  My second opinion went well this morning.  Today's doctor said that the other doctor was both right and wrong, in that his approach was very aggressive and old fashioned.  There are more conservative methods of treatment to try first ... so that's what I'm going to do!   As for my hiking goals ... he didn't seem to feel that I would be unable to complete them!  Aaahhh..... what a relief!!!   Thank goodness for second opinions!!!!!
