Why it is a good idea to seek a second opinion

• Some doctors may favor one treatment approach, while others might suggest a different combination of treatments.
• Doctors in each oncology specialty bring different training and perspectives to cancer treatment planning.
• Another doctor’s opinion may change the diagnosis or reveal a treatment
  your first doctor was not aware of.
• You need to hear arguments for all of your treatment options.
• Childhood cancer diagnosis could be a tricky thing, especially if it’s a sarcoma or any other soft tissue cancer.
• Diagnosis does not relate only to type (which in some cases be more than one), but also to other parameters such as grade etc.
• A second opinion is also a way to make sure your pathology diagnosis and staging are accurate,
  and that you are aware of clinical trials that you might want to consider.

ALWAYS insist on getting a second opinion in order to save unnecessary treatments.

You should know that any good oncologist would welcome a second and even a third opinion.
