Things to monitor, what to tell your doctor

Posted by Karen Michael @immmm, Oct 7, 2017

This is a question but also a suggestion. Having a positive attitude is wonderful but being passive or not sharing what you are feeling can be detrimental to your overall health. Saying you are "okay" when you are very fatigued, short of breath with activities needs to be conveyed to doctor(s). Would someone talk about things that are important to talk to the doctor about with these types of cancer? I know that is wide open-- but guidelines of what to monitor yourself, and note changes?

When I am at an appointment with my doctors, I am happy to review new test results. I let the doctor first explain and that brings up any important discussion. All of my follow up is at Mayo Clinic and their medical practices with this old patient with a long history is followed by a routine that we are all familiar with. Being treated at an “all in one” medical facility proves to be efficient. Affording everyone the Quality of Life that may benefit everyone. This includes time and money!
