Breast Cancer Second Opinions

A breast cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. It is natural to want reassurance that your treatment plan is the right one. At Lowcountry Oncology Associates, our physicians welcome patients who are seeking a second opinion. We provide a thorough review of your diagnosis and treatment options, so you can feel confident moving forward.

Why Second Opinions Help

A second opinion can:

  • Confirm your diagnosis and treatment plan
  • Offer additional options you may not have considered
  • Provide access to specialists and clinical trials in the Charleston area
  • Help you feel more confident and comfortable with your decisions

Even if your original plan does not change, most patients find second opinions reassuring.

What to Bring

To make your visit as smooth as possible, please bring:

  • Pathology and biopsy reports
  • Imaging results (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, PET/CT)
  • A list of previous treatments or surgeries
  • Genetic testing results, if available
  • Your insurance card and photo ID

If you do not have copies, our team can help request records from your other providers.

Request a Second Opinion

Taking this step is simple. You can call our office directly or submit a request online. Once we have your records, we will:

  1. Review your medical history and test results
  2. Meet with you to explain our findings
  3. Provide a clear treatment recommendation or confirm your current plan

 Our goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and ready for the next step in your care. We understand that time matters. The team at Lowcountry Oncology Associates takes second-opinion appointments seriously. If urgent, we will do everything possible to see you even sooner.
