When you are first told you have cancer, and especially C.U.P., it is really overwhelming – a rollercoaster of emotions begin. Below are some questions that you may want to ask your doctor to help you better understand C.U.P.
• What kind of CUP do I have?
• Where are the secondaries?
• What tests do you recommend and why?
• How invasive will the tests be? What difference will these tests make?
• What happens if you can’t find out where the cancer originated from?
• How will this affect my treatment?
• What treatment do you recommend and why?
• What will treatment involve?
• How much will treatment cost?
• What are the likely side effects of treatment?
• What can I do to help reduce the side effects I may have from treatment?
• If you find out where the primary cancer is, will my treatment change?
• What will happen if I don’t have treatment?
• Are there any clinical trials I should think about taking part in?
