WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CANCER TREATMENTS?
1. Exactly what kind of cancer do I have and where is the cancer located? Has the cancer spread beyond where it started?
2. What's the treatment? What are my chances of survival, based on my cancer as you see it? What is your advice?
3. What are the tests we need to undergo? Should I check in other countries for better options?
4. Are we sure the cancer will not recur after treatment? What can I do if it comes back? How long will I live?
5. How do we finance the treatments? For how long should I take treatment? What risks and side effects should I expect?
6. What about my lifestyle? Do I need to keep away from people? Can I work? How are my looks going to be affected with hair loss and do I regain the hair?
7. Can I use my regular cosmetics once detected with cancer?
8. Will this treatment affect my ability to have children? How can I prevent or treat side effects?
9. What is the 'stage' of the cancer? What does this mean?
