Hi,

Most people tend to request a second opinion because they aren’t sure a diagnosis is correct or a treatment plan is appropriate. 

These days such things are decided by an MDT (multi disciplinary team) so the chances of a misdiagnosis are reduced from the days when it was based on just one doctor’s opinion. Treatment plans tend to follow NICE guidance to ensure best practice is followed. 

Unless you have serious doubts, do you really want the hassle of a second opinion?

Good luck with your treatment.

Thanks for this - there are two good treatment centres equally close to me so I think I will enquire as to second opinion and see how much that would delay starting treatment. Cheers.
