My treatment review
Has my cancer been cured?
Your doctor will update you on how your cancer has responded to the treatment you have received.
Will there be more treatment?
Your clinical team will give you this information once they have received any relevant test results.
Do I need ongoing cancer monitoring or checks?
Your clinical team will make you aware of this. Ask to receive a Treatment Summary. This document is completed by your multidisciplinary team and will have information about any upcoming or ongoing cancer surveillance tests you will receive.
What signs and symptoms should I be looking out for?
If needed, you will be told to look out for specific symptoms or signs, and who to contact if this occurs. This information will also be available in the Treatment Summary that will be sent to you and your GP. If you have not received your Treatment Summary, please ask your cancer team to send this to you.
I have ongoing symptoms related to my treatment, what can I do?
You should discuss these with your clinical team and GP for further advice.
Is there an easy to read summary of my treatment so far?
Your team will produce a Treatment Summary for you and your GP. This document covers what treatment you have had and highlights the key long term effects to be aware of.
