There are a few things you can prepare in advance that will help you to get the most out of time with your doctor or health professional at your hospital; such as a list of useful questions for your Neuroendocrine Cancer appointment. Make some notes of things you want to discuss. Take those notes with you on the day and then tick each point off during your Neuroendocrine Cancer appointment.
Remember – it’s your appointment! Do not be afraid to ask questions about things you find unclear. Let the health professional explain it to you until you are sure you understand it. If you like, take someone with you as support.
Here we have listed some example questions for your Neuroendocrine Cancer appointment that you may find useful, including what to ask at diagnosis, after treatment or monitoring.
