HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is understandable that this may be difficult for you but you do not know what they have seen, you should not assume the worse.

Though it would be difficult you need to think clearly so that you can ask you doctor all the necessary questions.
It may be best to write them down prior to the visit so that in your anxiety you do not forget anything.

You should ask about what was seen and its significance. Ask how it will impact on your present treatment and prognosis.

I hope this helps
