It is important to remember that you are a partner with your Oncology Specialist as you find the right treatment plan for you. You have a voice in your healthcare decisions, and it is important to communicate your goals and preferences clearly to get the highest quality of care.
Ways to advocate for yourself during appointments include: preparing questions in advance to ask your doctor, bringing someone with you to listen and take notes, asking your Oncology Specialist to clarify when you do not understand something, and being honest when you have concerns.
If you are unsure about a recommended treatment, tell your doctor you want to seek a second opinion. A quality Oncology Specialist will not take offense at this; rather, a good doctor wants to get as much information as possible to make the right treatment choice. If your Oncology Specialist does question your interest in a second opinion, it may be a sign that another Oncology Specialist may be a better fit for you.
