test results
I asked the nurse for copies of test results. She is more than happy to give them to us. When Bob gets his cbc he gets a copy from the lab in his hand. Then we can ask questions with the numbers in front of us.
Also We ask the nurses to explain the results in between office visits, because they have more time. I like our Hemotologist but he is very busy and sometimes seems to think we understand things that we don't. By the time we think of questions we are out of the office. So we ask the chemo nurses who will look things up for us if she doesn't know.
Hope these ideas help.
