I attend a monthly UCSF prostate cancer online meeting. Of course, most of the people on there are UCSF patient. Nobody’s ever expressed a problem with having a second opinion from a different doctor. A few of the people have gone to Marina del Rey and seen Dr. Scholz.

You’re just looking for more information so speak to them about it.

It is a common practice to ask for several opinions, some people here had 5 or even more - do not be hesitant ! Oncology departments are used to that and actually encourage patients to consider all possible treatments.

Get as many options you need to make an informed decision about your health and the Dr. you select

@mauk , I'm being treated by Sloan Kettering and had second opinions by Mayo and MD Anderson and I told my doctors and they seemed happy that I did.
You only have one life and do what you need to do to make it last as long as you can. My Medicare paid for most of my second opinions and I'm very happy I had them done. You shouldn't be hurting others feelings if they are professionals as saving someone's life shouldn't be competition.
Do what you need to do!
