If you have Bladder Cancer, this guide can help you plan for a discussion with your doctor.

Patient Doctors Discussion Guide 

 Be prepared to have a discussion with your doctor:

What matters most to you?

• Understanding my potential treatment options

• Finding treatment with the fewest side effects

• Identifying a personalized treatment plan

Would you consider enrolling in a clinical trial of a new treatment?

Questions to ask your doctor:

• Has my Bladder Cancer tumor been tested for biomarkers or genomic alterations? Could I benefit from genetic (germline) testing?
   

• What could we learn about my Bladder Cancer through comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) testing to help us plan my treatment?
   

• Could cancer genomic profiling find inherited (germline) genetic changes that could change future health management for me and/or my family?
   

• What does the comprehensive genomic process involve?
   

• What is the financial impact of having comprehensive genomic testing done?
   

• Is there financial assistance to help with paying for the cost?
   

• How would the results and follow up be handled?
   

• How do we get started?
