Find out how we produce our information|
After your treatment has finished, you’ll have regular check-ups at the hospital. These may continue for several years, but will become less and less frequent.
If you have any problems, or notice any new symptoms| in between follow-up appointments, let your doctor know as soon as possible.
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.
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.
