Biopsy Second Opinion

Subject: Biopsy Second Opinion
Date: 03/11/2008

Was diagnosed with PC  1-1/2 years ago with 10 needle biopsy and pc in 10% of one core and GS = 10.   I have been WW since that time and PSA has stayed low,  around 1.   I had a second biopsy several weeks ago and go the results today,  benign and PIN in two of 12 needles, no tumors observed.   This leads to more questions than answers. 

I'm not comfortable with the lastest Path report and would like to get a second opinion.  Also,  I never got a second opinion on the first test results 1.5 years ago,  is it to late to get a 2nd opinion on that test? 

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Pathologist and how do you go about this?  Do I just contact a good Cancer center like MD Anderson or John Hopkins and ask them for a second opinion or does my Urologist do this?  Does Medicare pay for second opinions?                       Thanks for your help.
