Second Opinion

Getting diagnosed with breast cancer may change your life completely. The decision you make about your treatment and further management may impact your life forever, so, it is important to a make a well-informed decision. A smarter way to stay well-informed is getting a second opinion. A second opinion may give you a fresh perspective on your case. It may help to confirm the primary diagnosis and improve the treatment plan. Also, it might provide more information about the stage, other treatment options that have not been considered or may also suggestions on a different course of treatment.

A good oncologist will never get offended with a second opinion. In fact, in some cases, your doctor is the one who initiates the process of the second opinion and refers you to a specialist.

Patients diagnosed with breast cancer may have a wide range of emotions and rush into any treatment plan proposed. In most cases, when a person is diagnosed with cancer for the first time, there is always sometime before the treatment is initiated. This is the best time where the patient can look for a second opinion.
