Hello - I wanted to ask about folks’ experiences of seeking a second opinion. I’m unhappy with the medication I have been prescribed (Prostap) and want to access Relugolix, mainly due to it having a better side effect profile where cardiac issues are concerned.
It is on the local formulary, however my consultant has flatly refused to prescribe as he says that he has not yet seen enough real world data to convince him that it will produce at least the same results as he sees with Prostap.
Of guys who gave sought second opinions, what is your experience in doing so? I’m thinking of a) how successful has doing so proven, b) how has it affected relationships with clinicians and c) any advice in how to go about it?
