Want 2nd opinion - need to ask oncologist .....
Hello - I want to speak with a 2nd oncologist about my hormone therapy (Stage 2, had lumpectomy and radiation). Any advice on how to tell my oncologist that I want a 2nd opinion? Anyone BTDT? Thanks!

2nd opinion is normal
When I originally requested a second opinion my breast specialist was not insulted. Instead she recommended where I should go for the opinion. I did not go with her advice but I assure you it is completely normal and accepted to let your doctor know you want a second opinion. Please make an informed choice. Best, Sharon
