How can I go about getting a second opinion. My wife has stage 4 brain cancer (GBM). She is currently being treated at Penn Medicine and I don't think that it's working out. What can we do?

Hey Charles, We’re so sorry to hear about your wife’s diagnosis. We’re sure it’s a scary time for you both. To answer your question, getting a second opinion is always a good idea. To get a second opinion, we suggest calling our main line: 888-FOX-CHASE, and asking for a second opinion appointment.
