This booklet covers the different procedures used to control pancreatic cancer symptoms with practical information about your hospital visit and returning home. Includes a section about second opinions, clinical trials and questions to ask your doctor and a glossary to explain some of the terms used.
The shock and stress that people may feel after a diagnosis of cancer is common and it is often difficult to think of questions to ask when attending your doctor or pancreatic specialist.
Often it helps to make a list of questions before an appointment. Bringing a family member or friend with you when you talk to the doctor-to take part in the discussion, to take notes, or just to listen can help.
Always remember that the doctor is there to answer your questions so don’t be afraid to voice your opinion or question any action or procedure.
