As it is now over 5 years since your treatment for cancer and you are doing well, we are discharging you from regular follow-up. This is in line with national guidelines. Your GP will now take over your care. We will be happy to see you again quickly if you have any future concerns. If you have any worries about yourself please contact your GP. An appointment can be made for you to see us quickly if needed.
Some symptoms to look out for
- Swelling of your abdomen which does not go away
- Any vaginal bleeding
- Persistent change in your bowel habits
- Any new persistent changes in your general health. This may be something that is unexplained and lasts for more than 2 weeks.
For example;
- Any new persistent cough or shortness of breath
- Any new persistent abdominal aches or pains
These symptoms may not be related to your previous problem but should be checked out if they do not settle within 2 weeks. We wish you all the very best for the future.
