I've gone to visits with a partner with metastatic breast cancer, my father with colon cancer, and my mother with metastatic lung cancer. It's incredibly useful to have two sets of ears listening to what the doctors are saying so that you can clarify what they said. All too often we weren't given anything in writing except what I was doing myself. That's improved quite a bit but it's still amazing to me that people downplay the usefulness of electronic medical records and the printouts that you usually get.
