When you have finished your cancer treatment, you will talk with your doctor about next steps and follow-up care. You may want to ask your doctor some of the following questions:
How long will it take for me to get better and feel more like myself?
What kind of care should I expect after my treatment?
What long-term health issues can I expect as a result of my cancer and its treatment?
What is the chance that my cancer will return?
What symptoms should I tell you about?
Who do I call if I develop these symptoms?
What can I do to be as healthy as possible?
Which doctor(s) should I see for my follow-up care? How often?
What tests do I need after treatment is over? How often will I have the tests?
What records do I need to keep about my treatment?
Can you suggest a support group that might help me?
