A list of your current medicines and details of any previous treatment.

What should you ask the second doctor?

Will the ovaries also need to be removed, or can they be preserved?

A second opinion does not mean that you must change your original doctor's recommendation. It helps you understand your options and make a more informed decision. The final treatment plan should depend on your diagnosis, test results and discussion with a qualified gynaecologist.
