What Should You Ask Your Doctor About Aplastic Anemia
It is important to have frank, open, and honest talks with your doctor. Your doctor and the rest of the health care team want to answer all of your questions. For instance, consider asking the following:
- Do you know what caused my aplastic anemia?
- What treatment choices do I have?
- Which treatment do you recommend, and why?
- What are the side effects to the treatments that you recommend?
- What can I do to help reduce the side effects I may have from the treatment?
- What are the chances that my aplastic anemia will come back once I am in remission?
- What is the outlook for my survival?
