Just finished treatment
A guide for people in the first few months after treatment for cancer
It can take time to adjust to life after cancer. After treatment, you may worry about not seeing your cancer treatment team as often. You might have physical, emotional and practical concerns.
After you finish cancer treatment, you will still have regular health care and support. This can help you adjust to life after cancer, stay well and manage any ongoing side effects.
To learn more about what to expect in the first few months after treatment, who will help care for your health, living well after treatment and where to find support, see our Just finished treatment information on the Cancer Connect website.
