I've had all my treatment now, rad hist, chemo,radio,brachy - competed on 1st July 2013. I'm waiting on follow-up appointment and wondered what takes place? do they scan you, take bloods? what can I epect.
Hey,
I’ve only had the rad hyst and one check up (next one in a few weeks) so not sure if our experiences will be the same.
For me they asked a load of questions about healing from surgery, how passing urine and bowel movements are and if I was having sex etc and if I noticed anything weird. Then the consultant gave me a manual internal examination and had a good feel around.
That was it really. She just said unless I notice any symptoms or they feel any lumps or bumps then that’s it.
I don’t know if you’ll have scans but I’m sure someone who does will be along soon to help 
Best of luck with it all xx
Hi,
Not sure what your after treatment care will look like as all hospitals tend to do things differently.
At the hospital I am treated it they normally see you 6 weeks after treatment just for a chat and to see how you are doing and then give you an MRI scan 3 months after treatment. Your follow ups then are every 3 months until they are happy and put you on 6 monthly.
Do you have a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) allocated to you are your hopsital? If so give them a call and they should talk you through next steps or often your Oncologists secretary might be able to confirm your next appointment etc.
Good luck.

Hello LouLouH,
yes I've had the appointment 6 weeks after treatment ended, and it was just a general appointment to see how I was getting on. She did say I'll get another one Sep/Oct. I am guessing there'll be a scan carried out at it?
Like everybody after treatment Isuppose, I'm worried about the scan, what it will show - hopefully nothing.
