MSK RECOMMENDS

Bring these questions to your next appointment

Talk about the details of your diagnosis with your doctor. Learning all you can about the cancer you have will help you feel better prepared to make decisions about your care.

  • What type of cancer do I have, and what stage is it?
  • Will I need more tests before treatment starts?
  • What experience do you have in treating my type of cancer?
  • What support services are available to help me cope with my diagnosis?
  • How do I tell my family and people I work with about my diagnosis?
  • Is molecular or genetic testing important for choosing the best treatment for me?
  • What are my treatment options?
  • How will MSK help me recover after treatment?
  • Will I get side effects from treatment? How can I manage them?
  • Will treatment affect whether I can have children? If I’m planning to have children, are there ways to protect my fertility?
