Sanford Roger Maris Cancer Center

How to Prepare

During your first appointment, you’ll meet your health care team and start your cancer care journey. You may meet with one or more specialists who will ask questions about your health history, complete a physical exam, explain your diagnosis and discuss your next steps.

You may need additional testing, including blood tests, X-rays or biopsies. After your tests, you may meet with your provider and other specialists to explore your treatment options. Your doctors and care team will work together with you and your family to identify the best care plan for you.

You’ll receive a lot of information at your first appointment. Take a moment to write down questions for your next appointment. These questions can help you better understand your diagnosis and treatment options.
