I found this on Mayo web site. It refers to a previous discussion on same topic by the MCC Director. I copied and posted it below. Hope that helps.

Getting a second opinion can give you peace of mind. This blog post offers further reasons why it can be a good idea:
- Advice on Second Opinions https://connect.mayoclinic.org/champions/advice-on-second-opinions/
If you would like to seek a second opinion at Mayo Clinic, you can either self-refer or ask your oncologist to submit a referral. I think most of your questions about how to self refer are answered here in this set of Frequently Asked Questions https://www.mayoclinic.org/appointments/faq
To self refer, you can get started here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
Let me know if you have questions that weren't answered with all the information I just posted. Happy to elaborate.

Thank you! We are new to this and its overwhelming with the 2 doctors differing so much on treatment.
