She saw him years ago for a second opinion and he confirmed the first oncologist was doing things the way he would. But when doctor #1 retired, she went with second opinion doctor (an hour away but an expert in the field.)

Agree. I’m a doctor, I don’t get offended if my patients want a second opinion. I see a decent number of second opinions, it’s always easier if I have all the info, including notes, tests etc from the other doctor.
