Points to discuss

Expected course and limits
Fatigue is possible; fever and neurological signs must never be dismissed as routine recovery.
Preparation
Points to clarify with the care team before the procedure.
Prescribed medicines
Keep the exact treatment name, schedule and instructions for missed doses or vomiting. Have interactions checked; do not adjust doses yourself.
Food and fluids
Report weight loss or difficulty swallowing or drinking. Request nutrition support suited to treatment, without improvised restrictive diets or supplements.
Procedure Pathway
General orientation to confirm for the proposed technique.

Wounds and devices
Keep the treatment card and round-the-clock contact; arrange a caregiver and proximity to the centre as instructed.
Recovery
Planning follow-up and a safe return to daily activities.
Mobility and rehabilitation
Adapt activity and rest to fatigue, symptoms and medical restrictions. Discuss rehabilitation if independence declines.
Hygiene and activity
Do not drive or leave the centre’s vicinity before written treatment-specific restrictions end. Arrange who will raise the alarm for speech or behaviour changes.
