Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my hair during cancer treatment?
Hair loss depends on the type of treatment used. Some chemotherapy regimens cause significant hair loss, while others do not. Immunotherapy and targeted therapies typically do not cause hair loss. Your oncologist will discuss what to expect from your specific treatment plan.
What does remission mean?
Remission means that cancer signs and symptoms have reduced significantly or are undetectable on testing. Complete remission means no cancer can be detected. Remission does not always mean cure, and follow-up monitoring continues to detect any recurrence early.
What should I bring to my first oncology appointment?
Bring all relevant biopsy reports, imaging studies, surgical records, and a list of current medications. If you have seen other providers for your diagnosis, bringing those records helps the oncologist understand the full clinical picture before recommending a treatment approach.
