Making the Most of Your Consultation with the Doctor

When cancer is diagnosed, you enter a partnership in care with your doctor. As an informed patient who can participate actively in your treatment, you have the right to:

1. Ask your doctor questions

2. Be specifically informed about the important details of your care

3. Make an informed choice from the options available to you

Only your doctor can give you the information that is specific to you.
