Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. You may wish to ask your doctor the following questions about cancer treatment:

1. What treatment do you recommend for my cancer?
   
   
2. How and where will I receive the treatment?
   
   
3. If this treatment does not work, what are my other options?
   
   
4. What are the benefits and risks of these treatments?
   
   
5. What is the prognosis for each treatment?
   
   
6. Who will coordinate my cancer treatments?
   
   
7. What are the side effects from the treatments?
   
   
8. What tests might be used to monitor my health during treatment?
   
   
9. How will I know if the treatment has been successful?
   
   
10. Can you recommend any other physicians experienced with my type of cancer and treatment?
