"I wasn't sure if it was okay to ask for a
second opinion... it's good to know that lots of other people
are asking. After all, it is my body; I owe it to myself to be sure."

After seeing your health care provider, you may want to get a second opinion from another health care provider. Sometimes, a second opinion may be covered by your health insurance. Many women feel uneasy about asking for a second opinion, but it is very common. Your health care provider will not be surprised or offended if you seek a second opinion. A second opinion might help you feel more confident that you are making the best choices about your health.
