# Questions to ask your doctor: - What kind of cancer do I have? - Is my cancer treatable? - Where exactly in my body is it located? - Has it spread anywhere else in my body? - What stage is my cancer? - Should genetic testing be done on my tumor? - What is the standard treatment for my type of cancer? - Why do you recommend this treatment? - What will my treatment cost me, if anything? - What are possible or likely treatment hazards and side effects? - Will I need more tests before treatment begins? Which ones? - Can you recommend any colleagues for a second opinion? - What cancer support services are available in our state or province?
