[quote=Anonymous]I am 12:02 I third the suggestion to have someone go with you to at least the first meetings with surgeons and oncology. To all if feasible. My companion remembered details better and took notes on the question checklists I brought with me. I had shared the questions with the doctors via portal message in advance. Some looked, some didn't but no one was offended lol. I had a "remote" second opinion with an oncologist at USC who confirmed the treatment plan was solid and also recommended I get on a statin based on research findings about recurrence and my type of cancer. I eventually did. IMO the surgery margins--told her to take big ones, lol-- and decision whether or not to take lymph nodes are critical. It really depends on location, type and age. At 30 I likely would have wanted more aggressive surgery than I did. Best wishes. Let us know how it's going. [/quote]
