I would suggest that whatever diagnosis the doctor gives you, go ahead and have another doctor or hospital look at it as well. Unfortunately today_for many reasons I can imagine_misdiagnosis are much more frequent then they ever were!
With such advanced science, technology and greater amount of medical professionals than decades back, we keep seeing totally avoidable mistakes in diagnosis, prescriptions, surgery and treatment in general. So a second or even third opinion is always recommended.
Plus it is also our right, and even our obligation as patients, to be as informed as possible, never expecting to get all necessary information from our doctors, but from all other sources available, be those books, internet, and even word of mouth from people having had similar illnesses, diseases or simply similar symptoms.
