What else should I ask?
Ask a lot of questions about the treatment being offered, and seek a second opinion from a doctor you trust. You should not be rushed to make a decision – make sure you understand the entire treatment plan and any risks.
The doctors involved should know a lot about your disease, other treatment options and the evidence that the treatment they are offering will be safe and that it will work. You should be provided with an Informed Consent Form or Treatment Consent Form that should address many of your questions. This should be signed by both you and the doctor.
