About Your Healthcare Team
You’ll want to learn everything you can about the people who will be taking care of you and overseeing your treatment: Does your doctor treat many patients with your type of cancer? Do you need to see a specialist? Who else will be part of your healthcare team? Who will be in charge of overseeing your treatment? Can you reach them out of office hours if necessary?
About Your Overall Health
Speak to you doctor about any lifestyle changes they recommend and how the cancer and its treatment may affect aspects of your life (like fertility, your sex drive, the ability to work). Discuss the possibility of alternative and complementary treatments and therapies which may help with symptoms or overall health. If you have any pre-existing health issues, these need to be discussed to see how they will continue to be managed during your cancer treatment.
