Well! That’s a very vague statement. How can you be so certain that there are no oncologists on community? If you ask a valid question, you would get some trusted advises from the specialist doctors using CrediCommunity and from those advises you can decide what to digest.
It can be hard to know what questions to ask when your doctor says you have cancer. Since oncologists often present “just the facts,” without necessarily opening up the floor for questions, it’s good to be proactive.

If you are seeking advice from an oncologist remember to ask these questions:

Where do you recommend getting a second opinion?
What can I do to preserve my fertility?
Can I participate in a clinical trial?
What should I do if I’m simply having trouble coming to grips with my diagnosis?
What is the goal of my treatment?
What will my treatment cost?
What’s the endgame?
