Questions to Ask Your Doctor
If you are scheduled for a biopsy and feel anxious, the best remedy is communication. You are entitled to ask your medical team about their process. Consider asking the following:
- What type of biopsy are you using, and why is it the best choice for me?
- What precautions are taken to ensure the procedure is safe?
- How will the results of this biopsy change my treatment plan?
- What are the risks of not doing this biopsy?
A good physician will welcome these questions. They understand that a cancer scare is one of the most stressful events a person can face, and they want you to feel confident in your care plan.
