What should I expect at my first oncology surgeon appointment?

Meeting with an oncology surgeon for the first time can feel overwhelming, but it's an important step in your care journey. This appointment will likely involve discussing your diagnosis, reviewing test results, exploring treatment options, and having time for questions - so consider writing down any concerns beforehand to help make the most of your time together.

That's really good advice about writing down questions beforehand - I'd also suggest bringing someone with you if Jo possible, as it can be helpful to have another set of ears when there's so much information to process.

Hey Buddy, listen I’m on my fort right now. If you don’t trust your doctors, don’t worry about it. I’ve been there done that so now I am going to another doctor tomorrow and Wednesday I mean Friday and I’m gonna see if he can help me out by just removing this drain tube that I have coming out of my stomach cause it’s very uncomfortable and I don’t like it. The house on the corner for me when I was a kid. I had a beautiful dog out there named Ginger and Life is good so far except for this Cancer stuff but I wish you all the best and I’ll look for your post. God bless you. You’re gonna be OK but if this thing turns into a keep changing your same thing, a second opinion, that’s what I’m doing now and if I find something, I’ll let you know. Good night, my friend.
