Cindy

“I was given two different diagnoses and I felt so confused.”

During pregnancy, Cindy’s cystic tumour grew so much that her doctors suggested removing it after she had given birth. After surgery, she was diagnosed with an uncommon type of cancer that appeared to be spread and required further invasive surgery followed by chemotherapy.

Distraught by the news, Cindy decided to consult a second specialist who provided a completely different diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

Unable to choose between the two different treatment, both highly invasive and each with their own risks, she contacted Best Doctors for an expert second medical opinion.

After an exhaustive review of her case, the expert came to a dramatically different conclusion: while he did agree with one of the diagnoses, he did not recommend any treatment other than regular monitoring of the condition.

For Cindy, the Best Doctors expert report could not have given her greater relief and peace of mind.
