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?

    Hi everyone, hope you are all having a lovely weekend. I'm generally doing quite well post surgery. Doing my exercises and fairly mobile. I am having a bit of a problem with a small section of the stomach wound. The wound is from hip to hip and most of it has healed really well. There is one section about an inch long that just won't heal and is oozing what seems to be puss. I am cleaning and redressing daily and am on antibiotics. I am due back in clinic on Tuesday for a wound check, but not sure what else they can do. Did anyone else have any issues with wound healing?
