Second opinion needed: a congenital heart murmur, New York
Seeking a second medical opinion on a congenital heart murmur; a 20-minute call or written review would help.
Anywhere in the world794 views
Howard was diagnosed with a congenital heart murmur in June. The local team has recommended immediate surgery. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if an oncologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Howard's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford.
We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 20-minute call

Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Lecce.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Beersheba donated after I showed her your page.
Sending good thoughts, Lucas. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Lucas. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
