Second opinion

Seeing another specialist to review your plan.

Clinics and care

You are entitled to a second opinion at any point, particularly after failed cycles or before an expensive change of plan. Ask for a copy of your records, cycle summaries and laboratory reports to take with you. Seeking one is a normal part of medical care, not a criticism of your current team.

Also known as: changing clinics, another opinion
