Bring a pencil and notebook to all meetings and examinations. Have a friend or relative along for the visit to take these notes for you. Ask for copies of all consent forms. Ask for copies and explanations of treatment 'road maps'. Notify your oncologist if you think the questions you have will take an extended period of time to answer.
Many oncologists work closely with other team members.
