What To Ask Your Doctor

Building a Strong Partnership With Your Care Team

Your relationship with your doctor is an important part of your cancer care. You’ll have one main doctor who guides your treatment, explains your diagnosis, and helps you understand your options. It’s important that you feel comfortable asking questions and sharing your concerns.

You’ll also work with nurses and other specialists who support your care. They can help you manage treatment and side effects, and many of them can answer questions or help you find the information you need.

Good communication goes both ways. Ask questions, speak up when you need information, and be an active partner in your care. Your care team is there to support you every step of the way.

This page will help you know what to ask and how to make the most of your conversations with your care team. You are not alone – we’re here to help.
