After your treatment, you will be under the care of a medical oncologist or a palliative care team. Palliative care provides support and advice to those with a life-limiting, treatable but not curable illness, and those close to them.
Care is focused on improving quality of life by managing any symptoms, offering emotional, psychological and spiritual support: also, offering practical support, including planning for the future.
These appointments are a good opportunity to discuss with them any concerns or problems you may have. If you notice any new symptoms between check-ups, or are worried about anything, contact your doctor or specialist nurse for advice. You can be seen earlier if necessary.
