Here are some questions to ask your care team as you begin treatment in the Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Program. 

1. Do you have enough information to confirm a diagnosis? If not, what tests will I need?
2. Do you recommend genetic counseling and/or testing for me?
3. Whom can I talk to about preserving my fertility?
4. How will my diagnosis be determined?
5. What kind of treatment do you think would be best for me and why?
6. What is “watchful waiting?” Is it an option for me?
7. What risks should I know about before starting my treatment?
8. What should I do to get ready for treatment?
