Second opinion on a biopsy
Last reply:

Hi there,
I recently had a biopsy.
I would like a SECOND opinion on this biopsy - totally independent of the first opinion that I recently received.
How do I get a second opinion on a biopsy?
Thank you.

Hi Carver,
Thank you for your post.
A referral is generally needed for a second opinion, your GP or your consultant can refer you for a second opinion. I am attaching the following link to our webpage on seeking a second opinion: Getting a second opinion | Irish Cancer Society.
Carver if you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact one of our nurses on the Support Line, 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.
Kind regards,
Cancer Nurse
