Advantages of a second opinion consultation:
01
Piece of mind on your diagnosis and treatment plan
Feeling overwhelmed with your diagnosis and decisions that need to be made? Get another set of eyes to review your records and hear your story in order to provide an independent objective opinion of your diagnosis and treatment options in your situation. This includes reviewing your genetic testing results and determining if there are any targeted and/or immunotherapy options that may be applicable in your case.
03
Longitudinal opinion plans
While there is an option for a one-time consultation, many patients prefer to have another specialist in their corner with them throughout their cancer journey, to assist at any time with questions that arise along the way. This includes availability at major decision points like when to change treatment and what treatment is best to change to, as well as ongoing guidance regarding side effects from treatment and managent of cancer-related symptoms.
02
Not enough time to get all your questions answered?
It is common to feel like you don't have all the answers you are seeking to all of your questions regarding your diagnosis and treatment options. A second opinion with a dedicated specialist devoted to help you through all the questions you have can provide the necessary education about your diagnosis and treatment options, so you can make the best informed decisions through your cancer journey.
