An Excel spreadsheet is a great way to track concerning counts.

Most doctor's are comfortable with patients getting a second opinion and are open to collaboration, which is a great thing! Some have bigger egos and find it insulting. Just remember that you don't need your current doctor's permission to get a second opinion.
Thank you! I meet with the Dr. on Tuesday and will ask for the copies of everything
