What happens next? An information guide for older children and teenagers on follow-up care and re-adjusting to life after finishing cancer treatment.
After months or even years of tests, side effects, scans, hospitals, doctors and ward life, you will likely feel happy and relieved that you are now out on the other side. But perhaps it all feels a bit strange and you don’t feel as happy as you expected?
Many young patients are surprised by the mix of different emotions that they experience in the weeks and months after finishing treatment, and this is completely normal. You might find that you have lots of questions about your cancer experience and what the future will hold for you.
We hope this booklet will answer some of these questions and help you to re-adjust to everyday life again.
