Brain Tumor Questions to Ask

Brain Tumor questions to ask.


What You Need To Know About™ Brain Tumors - National Cancer Institute
A person who needs a biopsy may want to ask the doctor the following questions:

*

Why do I need a biopsy? How will the biopsy affect my treatment plan?
*

What kind of biopsy will I have?
*

How long will it take? Will I be awake? Will it hurt?
*

What are the chances of infection or bleeding after the biopsy? Are there any other risks?
*

How soon will I know the results?
*

If I do have a brain tumor, who will talk to me about treatment? When?
