CAN WE COUNT ON YOU THIS YEAR?

Dear Friends and Supporters of Thesecondopinion,


We are excited to share with you that next month, we will be launching our 2023 Year-End Campaign. Our goal is to provide 200 cancer patients with the necessary information they need to make informed medical decisions. In order to achieve this, we are aiming to raise $120,000 by December 31st. However, we cannot achieve this goal without your help.


Thanks to your incredible generosity, we were able to assist over 185 cancer patients last year through second opinions, telephone assistance, and written reviews. Your support has allowed these patients to gain clarity, compassion, choice, and hope. On behalf of these patients, we sincerely thank you for your help.


One of our patients shared their experience, stating, "The second opinion panel thoroughly examined my case, addressed all my concerns, and presented me with various options. As a result, my doubts have been alleviated, and I am now able to communicate more effectively with my doctors. I feel confident about moving forward with my treatment. P.S. ... you are truly amazing to work with - your kindness shines through, even virtually."


With your continued support, we can make a lasting impact on individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer. Please join us by making a donation now or in November when you receive our mailing. Together, let's work towards achieving our goal of raising $120,000!


Thank you once again for your continued support.


Best wishes,

Thesecondopinion Staff and Volunteers
