Sometime around 2002, Malecare started telling our support group members to consider getting a second opinion on their biopsy from a pathologist at a different/second facility. This seemed a no-brainer common sense thing to do (if you could afford it). Today, after several years of thought and conversation with our members, we are telling Malecare support group members to consider getting a second opinion on all imaging including MRI's.
