4. How effective is the biological drug for my type of cancer?
   
   
5. What side effects are associated with the drug?
   
   
6. Am I a candidate for a clinical trial for biological therapy?
   
   
7. How will I receive the biological therapy drug and on what schedule?
   
   
8. How will I know if the drug is successful in treating my cancer?
   
   
9. If the first drug does not work, will you try another type?
   
   
10. What is my prognosis with and without this type of  biological therapy?
    
    
11. Will biological therapy be used in conjunction with other treatments?
