Patients ask: What should I do after cancer treatment?
Answer: During the process of diagnosis and treatment you will be monitored by your doctor, who is responsible for your health. He/she will also carefully monitor your condition after the treatment finishes. Depending on the results and response to therapy, he/she will give you a plan for monitoring your condition.
What is most important in the overall plan for monitoring your condition is to identify and register all the conditions that could be a potential risk factor for recurrence of the disease.
