Getting involved with your treatment

Questions for your healthcare team

At Takeda Oncology, we believe that being an active participant in your treatment plan helps you get more out of your doctors’ appointments. And that starts with asking questions. Lots of them.

Below are some suggestions to bring up at your next appointment. Feel free to add your own, and remember: In a subject as complicated as multiple myeloma, there is no such thing as a silly question.

We suggest you bring a notepad and take notes during your office visits.
