Second opinion

I have bladder cancer and a pet scan showed it was in the lymph node which can't be removed or treated due to the position, my urologist, oncologist and radiologist are all in agreement,  all I have now is some immunotherapy 

my son thinks I should ask for a second opinion but I think it will just cause me even more worry, any thoughts on this?

  • I'm sorry to hear about your situation Dandydog.

    There's nothing wrong with asking for a second opinion, but you have to do what's right for you and what you feel comfortable with. Hopefully some of our members who have asked for a second opinion will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice, but if you'd like to talk this through with one of our cancer nurses they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

    We're here for you Dandydog and wishing you all the best with your treatment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
