Part six of six
Deciding
Talking to your team, joining a trial, grading it yourself.
The chapters
- Raising It With Your Oncologist
- Clinical Trials
- Grading It Yourself
- What Is Genuinely Coming
What this part asks you to do
These four chapters are about the conversation rather than the compound. Everything the register can do for them is a piece of paper you can carry into a room, or a question somebody else can ask on your behalf.
- The question list
- Chapter twenty-four. Add a question from any entry, then print the list. It is headed as a request for a review rather than as a finding, because a finding is not something this site is able to produce. Nothing is stored: the list lives in the tab and is gone when you close it.
- The carer path
- Also chapter twenty-four, and on the same page. It is written for the second person in the room, and the one thing it will not do is help one person talk another round. The patient can read every word of it, which is what keeps it honest.
- Interactions, and the pharmacy review
- What is recorded between something in this register and a class of cancer treatment, turned into a request for a pharmacist, who has your actual list of medicines and whose job this is.
Two of these chapters are answered elsewhere on the site. Grading it yourself, chapter twenty-six, is the same procedure Part One sets out, and it sits on that part’s page. Chapter twenty-five, on clinical trials, is not a page here at all: where a compound has trials recruiting, the link to search for them is on that compound’s own entry, so what you get back is the search rather than this register’s word for what it returned.
