Good list. While it didn't affect my outcomes, I think I'd have been less frightened at the start if I'd known what to ask.

The one question they probably can't answer is how long you have. Either they'll give you a scary answer based on badly outdated mortality figures, or, if they're honest and up to date on the latest research, they'll tell you it's too early to know, with all the new treatments available — ask again in 5–10 years, when they've had time to collect, analyze, and publish the data on us. 😕

or they should say, we don't know how your body will react and for how long. Every body is different.
