What is the chance that my cancer can be cured?
What other tests or procedures do I need?
What are my treatment options?
How will the treatment benefit me?
What can I expect during treatment?
What are the side effects of the treatment?
- Can I keep take other medicine while in treatment?
What can I do to prevent my cancer from recurring?
How likely are my children or other family members to get cancer?
Will I have to take time away from work?
Will my friends and family need to take time away from work to be with me?
