Preparing to Make a Treatment Decision at Your Next Doctor’s Visit? We can help!
CSC Atlanta offers a free service, called Open to Options that will help you prepare for your next doctor’s visit during which you plan to discuss treatment options. In a one-on-one conversation, with an “Open to Options” specialist, we’ll help you sort through any questions you may have about your various treatment options. We’ll write down and organize your questions in a way that will help you guide the discussion during your next appointment. Together with your doctor, you can then decide which treatment option is best for you. You’ll be able to walk into the doctor’s office feeling more prepared and self-confident with your personal list of questions in hand. Open to Options is a free service for anyone with any type of cancer who is considering a treatment-related decision.
