Life After Cancer

Follow-Up Care

Follow-up care is usually different for each cancer survivor. It is important to work with your healthcare team to develop a plan. Together, you will need to decide which doctors will provide your follow-up care and other medical care, how often you should be seen, and what follow-up tests are needed.

Since new doctors may participate in your care, it is important to keep a copy of your medical records to share with them. This information should contain your type of cancer, test results, and treatment details. Many older adults have other ailments, so it is also essential to include information about all medical conditions, medications, and doctors that you are seeing.
