In the craziness that comes after a cancer diagnosis, many doctors tell you to come to your first appointment with questions…but who the heck knows what to ask in the days that follow? I wrote down a list after extensive searching on doctor google. But even that did nothing to prepare me for what was going to happen!So what did I ask? Let’s get into it.
Honestly, for having no idea what I was looking at? These were pretty great questions to come up with.
When I look back on it, I think so many of those questions are good to ask anyways, while some seem a little silly…but they did help me get the smallest of grasps on what was to come. Knowing what I know now though, I may have asked a few more pointed questions. Like maybe “will you tell me if I have an autoimmune disorder?!” But agian, what it’s worth, I think they were alright.
I was very grateful for my ENT who took over surgery, monitoring, scans and all. Two and a half years later, my scar is truly nonexistent unless you are searching for it. I still rock it with pride everyday! My built in jewelry is awesome, if you ask me!
What are questions you wish you had asked?
