    Yea I regularly go to two myself. Each time it seems like one or the other doctor misses something that the other catches. It's a little unsettling how often that happens, don’t mean to worry you even more but I would definitely go get a second opinion. Be sure to have them receive a copy of the original pathology too, not just the written description but the actual slide of the specimen itself. I recently had my original melanoma re-examined just for shits and giggles, I believe the labs hold them for 10-15yrs before destroying them completely so the fact that you just had yours done shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
