Second opinion needed: a suspicious lymph node biopsy, Pune
An oncologist willing to review Vijay's reports could help the family decide on treatment for a suspicious lymph node biopsy.
Anywhere in the world390 views
Vijay was diagnosed with a suspicious lymph node biopsy in August. 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 Vijay'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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- 20-minute call

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kharkiv
