Once you pick the best doctor(s) and treatment for you, trust the lead oncologist, the rest of the medical team, and the treatment plan.

Keep in mind that trusting a doctor does not mean that you should stop asking questions or raising your concerns. If there isn't time to ask all your questions during an appointment with the doctor, ask when and how you can ask your additional questions. For instance, the doctor may take additional questions by email.
