Find out how we produce our information|
Once your treatment is completed, you’ll have regular check-ups and x-rays.
These check-ups will continue for several years. Many people find that for a while they get very anxious before the appointments. This is natural. It may help to get support from family, friends or a support organisation| during this time. You can also talk to us|.
If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms| between these times, let your hospital doctor know as soon as possible.
Samples of blood will be taken regularly throughout your follow-up to check your general health and the number of normal and abnormal cells in the blood.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm)
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.
