Hello Margo,
Those are seven valid points that we all need to be aware of.
Four years ago, I was diagnosed with olfactory neuroblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer. I learned to ask for copies of all diagnostic testing, such as PET scans and MRIs. I received copies of the operative reports. I have copies of all laboratory test. I keep a journal in which I record every doctor's appointment, diagnostic procedures and surgeries.
Keeping my own records helps me keep track of what has been done and to remind my physicians should some bit of information be forgotten or overlooked.
