Being a Proactive Patient

If You Are Considering Surgery

Questions for the doctor:

  • What kinds of surgery can I consider? Which operation do you recommend for me?

  • Will I need radiation after surgery?

  • How will I feel after surgery?

  • Where will the scars be? What will they look like?

  • Will I have to do special exercises after surgery?

  • When can I get back to my normal activities?
