Questions for your doctor
A short list to take to an appointment, so you leave with answers rather than new doubts.
What it’s for
With health anxiety and after a new diagnosis, people often realise afterwards that they didn’t ask the thing that worried them most.
What to ask
- What exactly does this result mean, and what does it not mean?
- What are the options, and what happens if we do nothing?
- Which signs would mean I should come back sooner?
- When is the next check, and what do I monitor in between?
- Where can I read reliable information?
