Questions to Ask the Doctor

It is important to have honest, open discussions with your doctors and nurses. Feel free to ask questions, even if they seem trivial. It is a good idea to write your questions down so you will remember to ask them during each appointment. Here are some important questions you may want to ask:

  • What type of appendix cancer do I have?
  • How experienced are you with my specific disease?
  • What treatment options are available to me?
  • How can I best prepare for my treatment?
  • What should I expect as I go through treatment?
  • What changes should I expect in the upcoming months regarding my health and ability to participate in daily activities?
