oncologist tomorrow. question time..

Hi first thing when you’ve got list of questions type or write out in duplicate one for you for oncologist it helps both of you. That way you so t miss anythjng. 
You should get a dental refferal as our teeth need checking. 
Ask if hospital  Policy is peg rig ir ng tube if needed. 
will you be hsvjng chrmo then explain re spleen.

Are you HPV positive? 

How many radiotherapy sessions  

A phone number of cns or Macmillian nurse  

Will yiu see a dietician regularly.

Am sure others will pop on  

good luck Hazel  

yes, teeth good.. scale n polish

will insist on PEG

HPV+

have CNS numbers

already been informed treatment will be chemoradiation.. so will check up on it .. I think it was 7 weeks + chemo once/week

cheers.

I’ll add to Hazel’s fairly comprehensive list 

Regarding your list, they might say that all this is done at consent 

When your oncologist goes through the consent form they will go through the treatment you are signing. This will include what the treatment will be and all the side effects ( nobody ever gets all of them ). It’s a legal requirement. I had plenty of time to raise questions at every tick  

Make sure you understand what every one means. 
To Address your particular concern just make sure your oncologist has the fact of your splenectomy at the front of their mind. I would be surprised if they didn’t though. It’s the chemotherapy that might pose a problem. The figures my oncologist quoted is that chemo adds just over 6% to your chance of cure. I would take time to discuss the consequences of not having any/ some/ all and the process in place should you run into trouble. 
Best of luck. 
Let us know how you get on 

Oh and if they say you will feel better two weeks after treatment end ask them why they say that if it’s not true

Dani , thank you for making me smile today . The old you’ll feel better after two weeks !!!!!

Merry Crimbo to all
