When faced with a difficult medical condition or the inability to make choices, seeking a second medical opinion, from a specialist, surgeon or physician, to understand alternative treatment options is a sound process to follow.
Getting a second opinion means you are consulting with another doctor to confirm your diagnosis, find other possible treatment options, which will enable you to make a decision. At the same time, getting a second medical opinion should never be delayed as the quicker you act, the quicker the treatment process can be started and the sooner you will be on the road to recovery.
