Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What is the difference between chemotherapy and immunotherapy?
Chemotherapy uses cytotoxic drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells. Immunotherapy works by stimulating or directing the patient's own immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Some patients receive one, the other, or a combination depending on the cancer type.
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.
