Questions to Ask the Doctor

One of your biggest allies in battling cancer is your oncologist and their team. Questions are your primary resource to gain a better understanding of your disease and enhance your quality of care. Well-thought-out questions can help you get the most out of your appointments and can make all the difference. Here are some questions you may want to ask:

• What is the extent of cancer in my liver?
• Is a liver resection an option?
• What are my treatment options?
• What do you think my best choice is and why?
• Are there any side effects to the treatment options? If so, what are the side effects
  of each treatment?
• Is there anything I can do to help with treatment of my cancer?

It may be a good idea to seek a second opinion, especially from a doctor experienced in treating liver metastases. A second opinion can help you better understand your disease and feel more confident about your course of treatment.
