A metastatic breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, leaving you unsure of what to say or where to begin planning. Here are some ways to get the conversation started with your doctor.
Have you treated other people with the same metastatic breast cancer subtype as me?
How does this cancer type impact treatment decisions? Can you tell me more about how this diagnosis will impact my life?
What treatments do I need? What are potential long- and short-term side effects and how do those risks compare to the benefits of therapy? Are there ways to prevent, lessen, or manage side effects? What about clinical trials?
What methods are available to help address side effects of treatment and symptoms of the disease? What are some methods used to deal with the fear and anxiety of disease progression between scans?
Do you know of support groups dedicated to (metastatic) breast cancer?
Could you connect me to therapists who have experience with metastatic breast cancer patients? Is it possible to connect me with someone else who is being treated for metastatic breast cancer?
