Helen, You are not comfortable with this because you do not understand it (I dont blame you)! You may not have to switch Drs (Unless you were unhappy with him/her before this) but get a second opinion. Make sure your Dr or the next one you see understands that you have questions and are very concerned. You may not get an exact cause and cure, but you do need reassurance and as much info as possible. Not ainst any agfainst any physicians, but short cut and dry answers and have a nice day is probably not what you are looking for. You need to either UNDERSTAND exactly what is going on or at te very least have a povider that UNDERSTANDS your concern an will take the time to give you the anser and reassurance you are looking for. Hope this helps! Good luck!
