What should I ask my oncologist at my first appointment?

Hi, I will see the nurse practitioner tomorrow and go over my pathology report. She will help me make an appointment with oncologists. I have to see medical and radiation. I'm feeling nervous, scared, and anxious. I prepare myself to asked questions. I hope it's not serious. Wish me luck.

All you are feeling is normal. It's good to go with questions. You will have more during and after. May you have a wonderful experience and recovery!

Your feelings are completely understandable as you prepare for these important appointments. Consider asking about your treatment timeline, what side effects to expect, how to manage them, and what support resources are available to help you through this journey. The care team is there to guide you through each step, so don't hesitate to ask for clarification on anything that feels overwhelming or unclear.
