Email or bring your imaging, pathology and reports. Anything missing is identified before the appointment rather than during it.
Home/Second Opinion
Request an independent review
A second opinion is a standard part of good care, not a challenge to your current team.
What you get
An honest read of what your reports show
Most people asking for a second opinion are not looking for a different answer. They are looking for confidence that the answer they already have is the right one. Often it is, and you will be told so plainly.
- An independent read of your scans, biopsy and blood results
- Whether the proposed operation is the right one for your anatomy and stage
- Whether a less invasive option would achieve the same result
- Realistic functional outcomes — continence, potency, kidney function
- What happens if you choose to wait, and what that would cost you
- A written summary you can take back to your original team
What to send in advance
- All imaging — CD, film or a link to the study, not just the report
- Biopsy and histopathology reports
- Recent blood work, including creatinine and eGFR
- Operative notes from any previous surgery
- The written recommendation you have been given
- A note of what matters most to you about the outcome
How it works
Three steps, usually within a week
2 Consultation
In person or by video. The scans are reviewed with you on screen, and the reasoning behind each option is explained rather than summarised.
3 Written summary
You leave with a written opinion you can take back to your original team, whether or not you choose to have treatment here.
It is your body and your decision.
Asking for a second opinion does not offend anyone worth being treated by. Bring what you have and let us go through it properly.
