Questions To Ask Your Doctor
We hope that this booklet has answered many of your questions about your prostate cancer and treatment options. However, no booklet can take the place of talking directly with your health care professionals. If you don't understand the answers, ask them to explain further.
Many men find it helpful to write down their questions ahead of time. Below are some of the most common questions. You may have others. Jot them down as you think of them, and take, the list with you when you see your doctor.
Depending upon your choice of treatment for prostate cancer, your doctor will make some recommendations for followup care. These recommendations may include more tests, and the results will be used to make choices that should improve your quality of life as a prostate cancer survivor. For example, you may be asked to have more PSA tests, bone scans, or palliative treatment. If you find any unusual changes in your body such as bone pain or swollen lymph nodes, you should call your doctor as soon as possible.
