      @plumleeet @plumleeet In addition to asking about the choices, ask the providers to explain (on average) how well do patients do on that treatment; and what type of side effects are common, so that you can compare the pros and cons of each treatment.

      Something I wished I'd asked from the get-go was the goal of each treatment. Keep us posted on how it goes. We’re all rooting for you! 🌟

      Adding to the great advice here, don't go alone, bring someone withyou for support. definitely ask about how each treatment works and what the daily routine would look like. It’s crucial to know what you're signing up for and how it'll fit into your life. Also, ask if there are lifestyle changes or complementary therapies that might boost your treatment or overall health

      Hey there, welcome !One thing I always make sure to ask is, "Can you walk me through all the treatment options available for my condition?" It's eye-opening to hear all the possibilities, not just the standard ones. and bring a notebook with you to write everything down. And ask about support services! My healthcare team hooked me up with a nutritionist and a support group,
