Generally when you have a specialist in a private hospital telling you what will happen, you do not seek for a second opinion. Exactly that is what happen to my dad, I meant nothing wrong to seek for one but the public hospital specialist is repeating the same thing as what the private specialist had said so he will be going to a PET Scan first before he could select the treatment option. No matter which option he goes for, it seems that he will need to go for rad therapy. On the side note, I figured that I will need to prepare for my eventual retirement. It is around 22 years away from the official age but I guess that I will push it to 25 years just to be sure. I had consolidated everything and that I had go for robo advisory to help me to reach my eventual goals of retiring in 25 years time. Sure that I do have government retirement account which in the US, it is called an IRA, i cannot just depend on that and pray that the fund will not run out eventually. I am planning to start a blog to eventually document about my journey to retirement. Having trouble thinking of the name even through I already had plenty of contents that are ready. I do hope that that I can share my blog here eventually.

It's always best to get a second opinion. It's never too early to plan for retirement.

Technically it is late for me as I am early on my early 40s. Crossing the end of 30 a few months back.

It is always better to ask for a second opinion, even if you asked to a good specialist first. I think it's a good idea to plan early for your retirement.

Best of luck for your father. I'm glad you did seek a second opinion. You are very wise to be planning for your retirement early. Both of our young sons have since the day they each began their careers. Same with us.

Thank you so much. I am considered late since I am just almost 25 years away from my official retirement age. Or 22 at this current time, but high chance is that the government will shift it. It was said that the recommended is now 65.

usually, a second opinion here is advised once the patient is doubtful if the first is real; second opinions matter too for some documentations as regards clearances for benefits like retirement plans.

Oh yes, after the second opinion we are sticking to the first specialist.
