Seriously, bring a tape recorder when you meet with the doctor.
Back when my wife was diagnosed we went to hear the test results and the bad news overwhelmed us so much that neither of us could remember what the doctor said after "the results were positive". She talked for about 15 minutes and we had to schedule a 2nd appointment to go over things again. The 2nd time we recorded so we could review it at home. Hearing that news is something I wish on nobody.
