Getting a second opinion

Why get a second opinion?

There are several reasons why you might consider a second opinion including:

• You’re not confident that the correct diagnosis has been made.
• You still have unanswered questions after speaking to your doctor, and you don't fully understand the information you've been given.
• You're unsure and unhappy with the treatment recommended to you, and have been told you can't have a different type of treatment.
• You've been told that there’s nothing more that more can be done.
• Your condition has returned after treatment.
• You're interested in clinical trials related to your condition.
