Questions to ask your oncologist
Take this guide to your next visit. You can ask a caregiver to join you.
- Could more testing help with my care right now?
- What can this test tell us, and what can it not tell us?
- Would I need a blood sample or a biopsy? What are the risks?
- Would testing change the options you recommend?
- What standard treatments or clinical trials should we discuss?
- What would I pay? Could there be other charges?
- How long would results take? What happens while we wait?
- Who will explain the results and help me decide what to do?
- Who can see my health information?
- What happens if the sample cannot be tested?
Write down what matters most to you. Ask your care team to explain any words you do not understand. You do not need to make a decision before your questions are answered.
