How we produce our information|
After your treatment has finished, you’ll be asked to go back to the hospital for regular check-ups. How frequent these are and what tests you have will depend on your individual situation. To begin with, check-ups may be every three months or so and will include a physical examination. Some women may have additional tests such as CT scans. The appointments will gradually become less frequent but will probably continue for several years.
Check-ups are a good opportunity to discuss any worries or problems you have. Go to your GP or your specialist doctor for advice if you have a symptom between your follow-up visits which you cannot explain, lasts more than a week, or that is not getting better.
Our section on life after cancer| has been written for people whose treatment is over apart from regular check-ups. It gives useful advice on how to keep healthy and adjust to life after cancer.
