Questions to ask your doctor
Appointments can be overwhelming. Writing questions down beforehand — and bringing someone with you — helps you get the information you need.
Questions some people find useful
- What tests do I need, and what will they tell us?
- When and how will I get the results, and who do I contact with questions?
- If it is something serious, what are my options, and what do you recommend for me?
- What are the benefits and risks of each option?
- Where can I find trustworthy information and support?
- Is there anything I should do, or watch for, in the meantime?
Your doctor and medical team know your situation and are the right people to answer these. It is always okay to ask them to explain again or more simply.
