Record the conversation

I understand your communication problem in Spain. I am in Tokyo newly diagnosed with MDS. I recorded the conversation with my doctor when the results came in, and played it back when I got home having calmed down a bit.

It's just so hard to take in everything the doctor says, what with all the new medical terms, the foreign language, when I'm so scared inside.
I don't think your doctor would mind if you asked him permission beforehand. You could try that, especially if like me, your spouse can't come with you to the appointment.
