The following are questions you should be sure and ask of your doctor:
* What symptoms data makes you think I need testing for brain cancer?
* What else could be the cause of these symptoms?
* What tests are you recommending?
* Describe each of the recommended procedures.
* What do I need to do to prepare for each test procedure?
* What is the name of the person performing the test?
* What is the recovery time after each test procedure?
* When will test results be available?
* Who will explain the results of my tests to me?
* What other testing options are available?
* When the results are available, would it lead to additional testing?
* If so, what does that consist of?
* Who are the members of the medical team that will be involved with my case?
* How do I contact them (phone numbers)?

Two different doctors will give two different sets of answers to the above questions. It is important to have a doctor that you trust and that you are comfortable with. If you don't feel you can be completely open and honest with your doctor, then find another doctor. Remember, you are putting your life in this doctor's hands.

I am a father of five and a grandfather of one. I am at an age where health issues have become relevant as cancer, Alzheimer's, and a host of others have started affecting family and lifelong friends.

I am educated in journalism and computers and I have extensive background as an executive in the computer and telecomm industries. I have spent a career researching and data gathering for business purposes. I now apply those same skills in a search for effective solutions to health issues affecting my loved ones.

I am sharing my discoveries.
