Preparing for Your First Appointment

At your first oncology appointment, you will meet with your cancer specialist and begin discussing your diagnosis and treatment options. Your physician will review your medical history, test results, imaging, and other information to understand your individual situation better.

Because there is a lot to discuss during this appointment, preparing questions and gathering important medical information ahead of time can help you make the most of your visit. Your Compass team will be there to guide you from the first appointment through treatment, follow-up care, and survivorship.
