Managing the Details
Cancer treatment can come with a lot to manage. These tips can help you stay on top of appointments, medication refills, and knowing when to reach out about symptoms or side effects.
Important Patient Information
Before your visit, review your new patient packet and complete all forms. Track your symptoms and write down any questions you have.
What to Bring:
- A list (or bottles) of your medications
- Your symptom notes and questions
- A support person, if possible—they can help take notes or ask questions
- Ask your doctor if you can record the visit for later review
Start with your most important question, and don’t hesitate to ask for clear explanations of your diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis. If unsure, you can always request a second opinion.
