Second Opinion? Stage 2B/2C Serous Carcinoma

Hello, everyone. I'm pretty new to this website but I was looking to get some advice.

I was diagnosed with stage 2B Serous Carcinoma and had it removed (the tumor) as well as my left ovary and tube back in December of 2016. I had non-invasive implants and also tested positive for tumor cells in my pelvic washings. I was never offered any clinical trials or chemo.

I was also denied to get any genetic testing even though my grandmother and aunt both suffered from breast and cervical cancer. My other grandmother and grandfather also passed away from lung and prostate cancer.

 I feel like more should have been done during my surgery and more so with my treatment. She never biopsied any lymphnodes, even though they did show up on the MRI prior to my surgery.

I also have "nodules" on my lungs and thyroid that are currently being examined by my primary now.

I think I should try seeing another oncologist for a second opinion but I don't want to seem rude and I don't want to get a second opinion just to be told not to worry about my diagnosis. 

Hopefully you guys have some advice? 

I really appreciate it

Thanks a bunch, 

Jamie!
