Chemotherapy: If You Are Considering It

Questions for the doctor:

• Why do I need this treatment?

• What drugs will I be taking? How often? For how long? What will they do?

• Where will I get treatment? Should I bring anything with me?

• Should I do anything to prepare for treatment?

• How effective is treatment likely to be?

• Do I need other treatments as well?

• What can I do about side effects?

• How long will I be on this treatment?

• How will we know if treatment is working?
