When kidney mass was detected the first doctor said kidney has to be removed. I was upset and after few hours my brother and me discussed and decided to go to another 3 doctors for second opinion. We went to second doctor he was excellent doctor but very commercial. He said to do a pet scan again. We went to third doctor which is a charitable hospital. The doctor was excellent and said there is a 70 percent chance that only partial nephrectomy will solve. We were satisfied and i will undergo surgery here. We went for fourth doctor he was excellent and said 70 percent kidney is good and partial nephrectomy will solve. This was a private hospital. Finally I decided and undergone surgery in charitable hospital. Its very good they successfully done surgery and discharged in 4 days. I believe in god and with his blessings i happy and recoverd 80 percent in 70 days

Always a good idea to get other opinions and go with best information you have.
In my case my best friend is a doctor, although his specialty is internal medicine. I asked for his opinion on all medical matters, even though I have my own oncologist and urologist.
