Top 3 Questions | Conversation Guide | Maintenance Therapy | Nurse Support

Asking questions is crucial to good communication with your oncologist. If you don’t ask questions, your oncologist may assume you already know the answer or you don’t need more information. Knowing what to ask ahead of time can help your oncologist understand what’s most important to you and allow you to get the most out of your visit.
