Treatment considerations 

To help you work through your treatment options: 

  • Read information before your appointment so you're prepared for what your doctors might discuss with you. This also helps you prepare questions to ask. 
  • Talk to people on the Online Network. You might find they have a good understanding of what you’re going through.  
  • Choose how much information you want. Every person’s needs are different and it’s up to you to decide how much you want to know ahead of time. 
  • Let your doctor or nurse know how you’re feeling so they can help you with any side effects.
