Beyond Cancer
Is it over yet?
When treatment is over and the cancer is gone, there is still some medical stuff to deal with.
Fact sheets
-
Remission
Remission occurs when the evidence and symptoms of cancer are reduced or disappear. -
Late effects
There are some side effects from treatment that might not show up until later in life. These are called late effects. -
Going back for check ups
Unfortunately, going back regularly for scans and tests are part of surviving cancer. -
Taking care of yourself
Staying healthy takes work. If you don’t take care of yourself then you can’t take care of anyone else. -
Relapse
Relapse (also known as recurrence) is return of a sign, symptom, or tumour after a remission of cancer.
