Hello, @jlsdaughter and @thomason,

I agree the thomason advice is great. The only thing I would add is I had my care at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Clinic in WI and there were two things during my cancer journey that helped me keep track of everything from diagnosis/treatment options to my medications or pain meds.

One, I bought a Philips VoiceTracer DVT1160 ($42 on Amazon) to record every appointment with every person I was in contact with so I could always go back and play it so nothing was missed. Never had any of my doctors or others and I have seen many over the years not allow it and some actually were glad, so important information was not missed. I have done this in 2008 with tonsil cancer and again in 2024 for my tongue cancer with included a Modified Neck Dissection.

Second, for meds I used this attached pdf to help keep track.

Good luck on the journey.
