Find out how we produce our information|
After your treatment has finished, you will have regular checkups, usually involving a PSA test. These will probably continue for many years.
Many people find that for a while they get very anxious before the appointments. This is natural and it may help to get support from family, friends or one of the useful organisations| we have listed.
If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms between check-ups, let your doctor know as soon as possible.
People whose treatment is over apart from regular check-ups might find our information about adjusting to life after cancer| helpful.
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.
