Talking to Your Doctor


Open up. Be honest about how your cancer is affecting your life. What you say will help shape your treatment plan.


What symptoms are you having (see p. 5)?


Are you having symptoms now that you weren’t having before?


Have you researched your treatment options? Do you feel like you want more resources?


Are you getting support from your family and friends?


Be sure to talk to your doctor about how often you need to see him during the treatment process. Also, ask him how to tell if your treatment’s working or if it might need to change.
