Appointment Preparation

Treatment plan
Ask what the next steps are in your treatment plan. Your doctor may have told you that you need a laboratory test, or physical therapy, or a new medication.

Questions
Write down any questions you want to ask your doctor. Writing them down may trigger a few more that you hadn't originally considered.

What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been mined for thousands of years. Unfortunately, it was not until the middle of the 20th century that the carcinogenic properties of asbestos became part of the public consciousness. Extreme precautions should be taken any time asbestos is disturbed, as a single fiber can progress into a terminal disease over the course of decades.
