After cancer treatment

After cancer treatment

Home > Cancer Services > 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.

Cancer Care Review

Your GP or practice nurse will contact you to check on your progress once your treatment is complete. This review is a chance to talk about:

  • How you are feeling
  • Any changes in your concerns
  • Any new worries you may have

This conversation will allow the GP/Nurse to refer you for additional support if needed.
