What should I ask my oncologist after a cancer diagnosis?
Upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, it's important to gather comprehensive information about your condition. Key questions include:
What type of cancer do I have? What is the stage and grade of my cancer? What are my treatment options? What are the potential side effects of these treatments? What is the goal of the treatmentâcure, control, or palliation?
Understanding the specific type and stage of cancer can help you and your healthcare team to develop a personalized treatment plan.
