Your first appointment will be comprehensive, so you should plan to spend an hour or more with us. Please arrive 20 minutes before your appointment to complete a few forms.
Every effort will be made to explain your diagnosis and initial
treatment plan and any associated processes during your first visit. However, sometimes a follow-up visit is necessary for this. Most likely,
chemotherapy or
radiation treatment will not begin on your initial visit.
Treatment plans can be complex, so you may find it helpful to bring another person with you. We also encourage you and your family to ask questions about any information that is not clear, or that you want to learn more about.
