If you’ve been diagnosed with CTCL, it is vital that you take an active role in your treatment decisions.
That means, first of all, talking to your doctor. Your doctor is an important source of information about CTCL and all of the therapeutic options available, including THERAKOS™ Photopheresis in particular. So ask questions, discuss your concerns, and add to your understanding however you can.
It’s not unusual to arrive at your doctor’s office and then forget what you wanted to ask. Think about writing down your questions ahead of time and bringing them with you. This just might help you better organize your thoughts in what is surely a difficult situation.
