What Questions Should Patients Ask Their Providers?
Patients should feel empowered to ask questions to fully understand their care. Important questions include: - What type of cancer do I have, and what stage is it? - What are my treatment options, and what are the benefits and risks of each? - What side effects can I expect, and how can they be managed? - Are there any clinical trials available for my type of cancer? - What support services are available, such as counseling or support groups?
