After cancer treatment

For some people, the end of treatment means they are likely to not need any more cancer treatment. For others, it is about managing the cancer over a longer period of time with intermittent treatments.

When treatment finishes you should have the following:

Contact details of a key worker (usually your cancer specialist nurse) in case you have questions or concerns.
An understanding of your follow up plan, which may include clinic reviews or not, depending on your cancer type.
An understanding if you require blood tests, scans or other tests as part of your follow up plan.

When treatment ends your team will work to develop a personalised care and support plan which includes the following elements:

An Holistic Needs Assessment
Personalised care and support plan
Treatment Summary

You can also find information on immediate and long-term effects of cancer and treatments on the Macmillan website.

If you require any further support with your health and wellbeing it is available through the Macmillan Information and Support Service at Pinderfields Hospital
