Questions for the Doctor

What do we ask? I've been given many suggestions.

How do you know this is benign without doing a biopsy?

What do we do about the headaches?

If you don't perform surgery, how long does it take for the medication to shrink the tumor?

How many surgeries like this has this doctor performed?

How many surgeries like this have been performed at that hospital?

What's the odds of it coming back?

What's the odds of more tumors developing?

What about the reports I've heard that elevated levels of this hormone are signs of prostate cancer?

Any other questions you think we should ask? Let me know.
