Doctors' appointments are critical junctures in your loved one's lung cancer journey. They are a time to gather information and ask questions. We have created a list of tips for caregivers so that you feel prepared for your loved one's appointments, especially if you are new to the role. Ask your loved one how they would like you to support them. It is important to honor your loved one's autonomy, and establishing what they want and need from you is key. Your role may start as note-taker, emotional support, question-asker, advocate, or chauffeur, but can change throughout their journey
