Going for Prostate Biopsy Tomorrow ….Looking for Opinions and Thoughts

Thanks for sharing your experience. I will send good thoughts to you and hope everything turns out good. My biopsy is on 12-11. Let us know what you find out.
How do you go about sending your results for a 2nd opinion ? If not in network with your insurance I guess you pay out of pocket. Do you do a video call with the other provider that does the 2nd opinion or do they just send you an email ?
Thanks

@indyguy thank you. I will definitely update you all once I have results and hope you’ll do the same. Incidentally, I was really dragging the first couple of days after my biopsy, but now feel pretty normal (day 3) and a lot less blood passing. (That part was pretty gross.)
I plan to follow the advice here when it’s time for a second opinion. There are several threads about it when you search. I see that Jeff just posted some helpful advice about that. I assume it’s out of pocket, but sounds like it’s not crazy expensive, all things considered.
Here’s to hoping everything is early and manageable for both of us!

There are two places you can go for a second opinion that are very experience at doing it. You contact them and they take care of everything.
Dr. Epstein biopsy

Dr. Zhou
Send an email to Ming.zhou@mountsinai.org to inquire about a second opinion and ask for his specific instructions for the process.
