@jeremy17 That's a very difficult radiology report to be given. Too many big words that only experts can interpret. Just like @artscaping says, right now you want to sit back and think good thoughts. 1. Use the report as the first page of the journal that you’re going to start on. Highlite the things on it that you want clarification on and number them. On the backside, you can write the number with the answer as your doctor speaks. You also want to write on a separate page, questions that you may have and the doctors answer. Write everything! You could even record on your phone (if the doc is OK). 2. Take someone with you—very important! You want someone who will listen, write things down, and prompt you with questions you want to ask. I did this for a friend who had pancreatic cancer. The doctors actually prefer a second pair of ears
So, your tasks for today: find a friend or family member and just sit down and write up all your questions. Be protective by wearing a mask and self-distance. Can you do that?
