Has anyone obtained second opinions from MD Anderson?

Hi, has anyone obtained second opinion from MD Anderson in Houston, TX? Can you recommend oncologists/radiologists who specialize in NSCLA? My dad’s CT shows small nodules in both lungs with max diameter of 2mm. We need second opinion to determine if these are cancerous. The two primary tumors are in his right lung. I would like to know:

1. What kind of information do I need to provide other than the CT and PET scan?

2. How do they do it? Is it better for me to make a trip to meet the doctors? I live in Dallas.

3. How long does it take to get their opinion back once they receive the info they need? I need this done quick,quick, quick.

4. Do they only provide diagnosis such as staging, or do they also recommend treatment plans?

5. What’s the cost?

Thanks in advance!!!
