Cancer diagnosis is followed by a variety of emotions. You will feel nervous before and while deciding the right course of treatment. It is completely normal to feel this way. However, before diving right into the treatment, here are a few things to keep in mind before getting your cancer therapy in Mumbai:
1. Have rational expectations
Your oncologist can tell what you can expect to get from each type of treatment. However, what side effects you may be willing to put up with depends on what benefits are available from the treatment. Choose a cancer hospital in Mumbai which makes you feel comfortable with yourself and your decisions.
2. Understand both the benefits and side-effects
Make sure you and your doctor compare the benefits and risks of the different cancer treatments to decide which treatments fall within your goals. For example, immunotherapy is known to be side effects free treatment. It works when other treatment options fail to show results or sometimes helps the patient in dealing with the side effects of other therapies, like chemotherapy.
3. Cost
While choosing your cancer doctor in Mumbai, make sure that the treatment does not take a financial toll due to out-of-pocket costs, medications and loss of work hours. Financial issues are linked to higher overall distress and lower quality of life/satisfaction with cancer care.
4. Consider how treatment affects your life
Talk to your doctor about how the cancer therapy will affect your everyday life. Ask questions such as:
- Will I need a day off at work or several weeks off?
- How will my role in the family change?
- Do I need to travel for the treatment?
- How will my treatment affect my ability to work and stay abreast at my job?
- Will I have dietary restrictions?
5. Communicate with your doctor
No matter from which cancer doctor in Mumbai you are planning to get treatment, effective communication makes sure you get all the information you need to make the right decision. Here are some tips to make communicating easier:
- Record your conversations
- Speak up when you don’t understand
- Bring someone you trust and discuss your treatment options with them
- Keep copies of medical records
