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.
