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 is the stage of my disease?
• How experienced are you with my specific disease?
• What treatment options are available to me?
• How can I best prepare for my treatment?
• What side effects 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?
• Are there any targeted therapy options for this cancer?
• Are there any clinical trials available for my disease?
