Getting the Diagnosis

When your doctor has decided what your problem is, he or she will give you a diagnosis. But you should know that reaching a diagnosis can be hard.

Sometimes it can take a long time. And sometimes it is hard to find out exactly what is wrong. Ask your doctor to explain what you have and how it might affect you and your family:

  • What is the diagnosis?
  • What is my prognosis (outlook for the future)?

  • What changes, if any, will I need to make in my daily life?

  • Is there a chance that someone else in my family might get the same condition?
  • Will I need special help at home for my condition?

  • If so, what type of help?

Ask for materials you can take home. You also might want to find out if there are any support groups for people with your condition.
