Confident cancer care starts with a second opinion
When facing cancer, a correct diagnosis is critical to getting the best possible outcome. Carrum Health offers free second opinions from leading specialists, so you can have confidence in your diagnosis and treatment, no matter where you are in your journey. Carrum Health’s Deirdre Saulet, VP, Cancer Care, explains what second opinions can include and why they are so valuable.
Feel comfortable with your cancer team
Dr. Arianne Gallaty and Dr. Prasanthi Ganesa from The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (a leading cancer center in Carrum Health’s network) emphasize the importance of feeling comfortable with not only your oncologist, but your entire cancer care team. They also stress that it’s okay to get a second or even a third opinion. However, while second opinions can be very valuable, they emphasize the importance of timely treatment, especially in cancer cases where every moment counts
