Leave a detailed message with the secretary (phone number can be found on your appointment card) regarding new problems or specific questions for your oncologist. Test results will usually be available at your next appointment. Your oncologist will call you about test results of concern. For refills of CANCER RELATED PRESCRIPTIONS, please leave a detailed message (with your pharmacy phone number if appropriate). Some medications cannot be refilled by phone.
Your family doctor will be receiving information about what is happening at the cancer centre. They will remain your primary physician and you should continue to see them for other health issues as you have before. They can also be very helpful in managing issues that arise during and after your treatment and provide care for you closer to home when possible.
