My first annual checkup...what to ask

George,

As long as the test results are good, I suppose "How's your golf game?" would be a good one to ask.

Maybe, "Would you be interested in knowing about a great support group website that helped me a lot over the past year or so, that you can point other patients to?"

Congrats on your upcoming anniversary, which I think is the anniversary of when you got rid of the last of the cancer!

Hope it continues that way forever!

Mike

I am about to go in for my first annual visit with my surgeon. i have had a visit every three months and things have been OK. But Now I am going in for the ANNIVERSARY. I have had a chest X Ray, Blood tests and urine tests. I don't know the results yet. I am sure my doctor will review them.

So, here is my question to all of you
"What questions do I ask of my doctor?"

I have no idea. I would be happy to hear "everything is fine, go home"
But, I have been an advocate of proactive patients who stand up for themselves. So, I am asking you all for some help.

I am sure I can count on you for great questions. My wife says she has BIG plans for me and wants me around for another 55 years. She won't take this lying down.

Thank you in advance for all of your great questions.
George
