A cancer diagnosis can feel like everything is moving too fast. It's not. You're allowed to ask questions, as many as you need, before any decision is made.
At St. Thomas & St. Croix Cancer Specialists, our care team walks through every option with you, in plain language, until you feel ready.
Some questions worth bringing to your first appointment:
1️⃣ What type and stage of cancer do I have, and what does that mean for me?
2️⃣ What are my treatment options, and how do they compare?
3️⃣ What side effects should I expect, short- and long-term?
4️⃣ How will we track whether treatment is working?
5️⃣ What support is available to me: nutrition, nurse navigation, social work?
6️⃣ Who can I call with questions between appointments?
7️⃣ How will my care team coordinate with my other doctors?
8️⃣ What can my family do to support me?
You don't have to have it all figured out today. You just have to keep asking and know you're not doing this alone.
