UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIAGNOSIS

Questions you may want to ask your oncology team.

What is my diagnosis?

What tests support the diagnosis?

Are there any tests that do not support the diagnosis?

May I have copies of any test reports?

Will I require additional tests? If so, why?

What is the stage of my cancer?

How was the stage determined?

Once this basic information is gathered, it is important for you to think about your own personal values for living, your goals for treatment, and which aspects of your daily life are most important to you. Share this information as well as your goals for communication with your doctor. You also may want to consider your spirituality and the role it plays in treating your disease.
