After a biopsy report is complete, often an appointment is followed your doctor to discuss the results.

Sometimes findings are briefly disclosed over the phone, while others the results may be known for the first time at the appointment... Either way, this follow-up appointment is one of stress and anxiety, so going in with a list of questions can ensure you do not forget any you wish you could ask.

Please use this discussion to give advice to, and share with, others on what questions one should ask in this important appointment.

This is a great question. Having been diagnosed with bladder cancer and having received treatment, I would recommend you ask your doctor What are the results of the biopsy in detail, such as the grade and how invasive the cancer is (how spread out it is). Also, if before this, any lab results are ran, ask to have those explained to you as well. Do not feel rushed.

Ask about your treatment options and any possible clinical trials, depending on the grade and invasiveness. Ask about your prognosis. Ask for him to explain the pros and cons of the possible treatments related to your prognosis. and how each treatment could affect your life. I would then recommend going home, doing research on your own and getting a second opinion.

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
