Follow-up after treatment for AML

Once your treatment is finished, you will have regular check-ups. These will continue every three to six months for several years, but will become less frequent as time goes on. You will continue to have appointments at the hospital for up to 10 years. Many people find that they get very anxious before their appointments. This is natural and it may help to get support from family, friends or a support organisation.

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

We have a section on adjusting to life after cancer treatment, which gives useful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after cancer.
