A member asked:
Should i ask if the cancer is curable (after biopsy results are had) and am at my first pre-treatment oncology consultation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When cancer is diagnosed, the first thing is to check "cure box" to ensure that we do not miss curable cancer. Certainly, you should ask. Good luck.
