Questions for oncology meeting

This is a list of questions that will grow over the coming week.  I expect my oncology appointment will be on Wednesday or Thursday.  Advice from Anna, is make sure you take a written list - don't walk out of the appointment having forgotten some key questions.


How long was the operation?
What did they do?
Has the tumour been photographed - if yes - can I see the photos?
What is its pathology?
What are my next steps in treatment?
What will be the effects of the treatment?
I don't think that it is possible to get a secondary cancer from this tumour.  Am I correct?
When can I fly in an aeroplane?
What has happened to the muscles in my body - is it due to drug regime, or is that I am not exercising at all?
Any alternative therapies and exercise regimes that I can follow safely?

Any suggestions would be welcomed.
