In shared decision-making, you and your health care provider (HCP) discuss your risk for developing lung cancer and agree to a screening schedule. This chapter offers possible questions to ask your HCP.
Questions to Ask
It is important to learn all you can about screening so you can be informed and engage in shared decision-making with your health care provider (HCP). Write down questions before each visit to ask your HCP, take notes, and repeat back what answers you hear.
If possible, bring someone with you to appointments who can take notes and ask questions. The following questions are suggestions to learn more about lung cancer screening risks and benefits. Feel free to use these questions or come up with your own questions for your HCP.
Family health information can change. Share with your health care provider any changes to your health or family history.
