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:
- Is my infection acute or chronic?
- What are my treatment options?
- How long will treatment last?
- Are there any side effects of treatment?
- Can I be cured?
- Has the virus caused any liver damage?
- What can I do to prevent or lessen liver damage?
- Should my family be tested?
- What precautions can I take to protect the people around me?
- How does this diagnosis affect my marriage?
