After your treatment has finished, you will be asked to go back to the hospital for regular check-ups. To begin with, these may be every three months or so and will include a physical examination and possibly scans or x-rays. Over time the appointments will gradually become less frequent but will probably continue for several years. If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms in between these times, let your doctor know as soon as possible.
Our section on adjusting to life after cancer treatment gives useful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after cancer.
