I found it difficult to think straight when at the oncologist's especially because I always saw her immediately before my next Chemo. Even having my husband with me we would still struggle to remember all the questions we had. Therefore we would write a list of things to ask about before each visit. This was the only way to get the answers we needed.
My oncologist also wrote down the basics of my diagnosis for us as well as the statistics associated with the treatment she was recommending. This helped us to understand why each treatment was needed. We could take this info home and have referred to it many times during treatment to refresh our memories.
I think it helps you to get through Chemo if you understand why you are having it and what difference it will make to your life in the future.
Hope you find out more at your visit tomorrow.
