🩺 Questions to Ask Your Cancer Nurse — Why Speaking Up Matters 🩺

When you’re facing cancer treatment, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed with information. Many patients focus on listening carefully during appointments — which is important — but asking your own questions is just as essential.

At My Journey Nurse, we believe the best care happens when you are an active participant in your treatment. Asking the right questions helps you understand your options, make informed decisions, and feel more confident in your care. It also allows your nurse to address your unique needs, concerns, and goals.

📝 Your Cancer Nurse Question Checklist
Bring this list to your next appointment and add your own:

✅ Treatment Plan – What’s the goal of my treatment? What are the possible side effects and how can I manage them?
✅ Medications – What is each medication for, and when should I take it?
✅ Symptoms – Which symptoms are expected, and which should I report immediately?
✅ Nutrition – Are there foods or supplements I should avoid or include?
✅ Activity Level – What kind of exercise or daily movement is safe for me?
✅ Appointments – How often will we meet, and how will you coordinate with my doctors?
✅ Support Resources – Are there local or online support groups or services you recommend?
✅ Home Care – What can I do between appointments to support my recovery?

💡 Why This Matters:
Your cancer journey is deeply personal. By asking questions, you ensure your care is tailored to you. At My Journey Nurse, we don’t just provide answers — we help you feel heard, understood, and empowered every step of the way.
