After your treatment is completed, you may need to have regular check-ups at the hospital. Your doctor or specialist nurse will tell you how long you will need to have these for.

Many people find that they get very anxious in the time leading up to their appointments. This is natural and it may help to get support from family, friends or a support organisation during this time.

If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms between follow-up appointments, let your doctor know as soon as possible.

For people whose treatment is over apart from regular check-ups, our section on adjusting to life after cancer treatment gives useful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after cancer.
