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?

  • I had a port fitted as I enjoy swimming and the oncologist confirmed it was the best option as I could still enjoy swimming. Also I found that with a Pic line you have to get it checked every week as with a port you don’t. They just insert the line into the port every chemo session. You can also shower with no worries. Hope this helps
