Doctors sometimes give you information faster than you can remember it all. I always take a pencil and paper to our appointments so I can take notes while the doctor is talking to us. Sometimes I ask the doctor to repeat something I don't understand, or to spell a word I don't know so I can look up more about it later.

If you have a relative or friend who wouldn't mind going with you, he or she could write down what the doctor says for you. That way, you could concentrate on the main points the doctor is making, and ask any questions you have.
