Implicit in your question is the second opinion since you do not have complete trust/faith in opinion(s) given you. Easy to say get a second opinion for MRI, pathology, PSMA scan, whatever but where and how to judge the quality of the second opinion?

My go-to would be first this forum, then the PCRI forum and then the speakers on the PCRI videos if they give second opinions and of course the cost of said second opinion.

This topic deserves a thread.

Thank you for your response; I have been battling stage four since 2008 and have gone through most all treatment options. I’ve now begun to make my decisions based on one or two or three doctors opinions. I know I am getting jaded. Out of the seven doctors, I see in a semi regular timeframe. I am lucky if two have the same opinion. A couple years ago I started seeking treatment options that held out hope for a cure instead of just treatment.
I think you much for your response and your insight.
