Hi I was told I have breast cancer 7th July now have appointment on Tuesday I’m wondering what questions I should ask as wasn’t expecting to be told at last appointment that I had cancer so thought writing down questions might be helpful but not sure where to start 

  • These were the questions I had when I was first diagnosed.

    What type of breast cancer do I have?

    What stage and grade is my cancer?

    Is my cancer HER2-positive, ER-positive, or PR-positive?

    Has the cancer spread to my lymph nodes or anywhere else?

    What tests or scans do I still need?

    What treatment do you recommend, and why?

    What is the goal of my treatment – to cure the cancer or to control it?

    Will I need chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy?

    How long will my treatment take?

    What side effects should I expect, and how can they be managed?

    How often will I need scans and follow-up appointments?

  • Thank you really helpful
