Form a Team, Listen to Your Medical Team, and Keep Track.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deciding when to tell others can add to the strain of the first news. I know that some people are afraid of their employers. In my case, I worked for a great company of people who had the policies and the attitude to help me. If that is not available, try to develop a small cadre of people (starting with your buddy) to talk with and sometimes to do stuff with. Again, I am forever indebted to many people, starting with my wife and my sisters, who get me through some challenging and dark days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This may seem obvious but you also need to have a discipline for listening and keeping track. In my case my ears stopped working about six words after the doctor said, &ldquo;you have a serious cancer&hellip;&rdquo; It was a shock and I am sure he had lots of other important things to say, but I missed it all.<\/p>\n<p>Having a buddy to come with you, as a second set of ears, is important especially when you are hearing bad news. This is crucial at the start. In my case, I was lucky to have a lovely wife who really knows her way around medical cases based on a variety of family experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Take notes as much as you can. Your buddy should too. It really becomes important.<\/p>\n<p>Each of us &ldquo;hears&rdquo; and understands different things.&nbsp; So it really helps to have others with you so you can compare notes.&nbsp; If no one is with you, ask the doctors if you can review what they said in your words.&nbsp; This will clarify in your mind what they said and it also helps them to be sure that you comprehend what they said.&nbsp; This can be crucial when deciding on the next steps course of treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Assume the medical team does not remember much about you. The volume of people they see makes this difficult. And you will see different or new people who don&rsquo;t know you.&nbsp; Sure they have a file but it gets fatter over time and they simply don&rsquo;t have the time to review it all each time.<\/p>\n<p>Keep a diary. I do an entry after every appointment so it runs in reverse order. Note everything, as something that seems trivial to you might be important for the doctors. I update an executive summary at the top of the document with the latest situation report, drugs, doctors etc. that I can print off and bring with me each time.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to your body and note things. Keep track of this along with your clinic notes. Prepare carefully for each doctor visit.<\/p>\n<p>These days we are lucky to see what the medical people are writing about us as much of it is online.&nbsp; Check that carefully for typos and mistakes.&nbsp; They happen and they can be crucial to someone looking at your file.<\/p>\n<p>Of course having a significant person with you such as a spouse means that they hear the information directly. That can really help you manage the process.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope that by sharing my insights, others will find answers and offer some of their thoughts as well.
