DISEASE INFORMATION | Communication
In healthcare settings, miscommunication can have serious repercussions. It is important that you have a successful exchange with your healthcare provider on your individual tumor type, prescribed course of therapy and side effect management. Bring a friend or family member with you, and a notepad and pencil or pen. During your scheduled appointment, always ask for clarification if you don't understand something - and call your doctor's office immediately, if necessary, should a question arise once you've left. See the next section for suggested questions to ask your doctor.Your spouse, partner, family members, and/or co-workers can be a huge support network for you as you journey down your road to recovery. Keep them informed of your progress - they care for you and as a result, are suffering right along with you.
