What Should You Ask Your Doctor About Leukemia?
It is important to have honest, open communication with your physician about your condition. Your doctor and the rest of the cancer care team want to answer all of your questions. For instance, consider these questions:

  • What kind of chronic leukemia do I have?
  • What treatment choices do I have?
  • Which treatment do you recommend, and why?
  • What side effects are there to the treatments that you recommend?
  • What can I do to help reduce the side effects I may have from the chemotherapy?
  • What are the chances that my leukemia will come back once I am in remission?
