Just wanted to add that both UCSF and the Mayo Clinic will do second opionions electronically - if you send them the files and course of treatment suggested by your team they will review with their tumor conference. Cost at UCSF is 800.00 and is not covered by insurance.

Review can take two weeks or longer so not for immediate decisions.
