Next » « Previous9/14
Do not miss or be late for a medical appointment.
When the doctor gives you new information, repeat back your understanding of the information to be sure you understand the important points. If the doctor does not have time to answer questions, ask when you can call or see the doctor again to get your questions answered.
Always take a recording device to record your conversation with the doctor so you can review it later. Contact the doctor or his or her staff if you have follow-up questions.
If you have difficulty getting to and from appointments, help is available. Call the American Cancer Society at 800.ACS.2345. The more notice you give the Society, the more likely they will be able to find you free transportation.
