Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / March 2004A LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR SURGEON
THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS SUGGESTS A LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO ASK WHEN YOUR DOCTOR RECOMMENDS SURGERY. 1. What indications have led your doctor to suggest an operation? 2. What, if any, alternative treatments are available? 3. What will be the result if you do not have surgery? 4. What are the basic procedures? 5. What are the risks? 6. How can the operation improve your health or quality of life? 7. How long will you be in the hospital? 8. What can you expect for your recovery period? 9. When can you resume normal activities? 10. What effects will there be from the operation?
