If a doctor doesn't know what outcome the patient is looking for, how are they going to recommend a course of action?

1. What is your understanding of where you are and of your illness?

2. Your fears or worries for the future

3. Your goals and priorities

4. What outcomes are unacceptable to you? What are you willing to sacrifice and not?

And later, 5. What would a good day look like?
