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. Many women find that they get very anxious for a while before 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 in 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.
