Oncologist appointment tomorrow - what questions should I ask?

After being diagnosed on 18th January and going through all the various test, I finally get to see the oncologist tomorrow. Would like to hear from anyone who has any suggestions about what questions would be good to ask. 

Also what are your experiences of how long it took for treatment to start after first oncology appointment. As my breast cancer is grade 3 and fast growing, I'm worried about it spreading, before my treatment even gets started. 

Was it suggested you have a PICC line or port?

  • Morning all, (02:39am). New symptom tonight - restless legs so annoying as I am tired and I want sleep.  . Also not managed to open my bowls since Monday morning, so starting to worry about that and bank holiday weekend is coming up so not sure what I can take. Sorry I know this is a moaning text. Just hoping if I can get it off my chest I might feel a bit better and I know there is no judgement here. 

  • Oh so sorry Madhatter, i missed this post before! How are you doing now? Any bowel movement? I’m pretty bunged up too..taking laxido and trying to eat lots of fibre! 
    Hope you’re doing ok. How are the legs, 

    sending virtual hugs your way xx
