Talking with others about the prostate cancer treatment.

First opinion :

Once you have discussed treatment options with your doctor, you may want to talk them over with family or friends, or your own religious or spiritual adviser. Talking it over can help to sort out what course of action is right for you.

Second opinion :

You may want to ask for a second opinion from another specialist. This is understandable and can be a valuable part of your decision-making process. Your specialist or local doctor can refer you to another specialist and you can ask for you records to be sent to the second-opinion doctor. You can still ask for a second opinion even if you have already started treatment or still want to be treated by your first doctor.
