Hi folks

Just wondering when people where called back for a first check-up after treatment finished?

I had my last radiotherapy on Wed 3rd July and have just received an appointment letter through for Mon 22 July, I just thought this seems a bit quick!

Thanks

    I haven’t started treatment but the Dr examined me last week and said something like ‘don’t worry I won’t do this again until 3 weeks after treatment’

    That ties in with your dates,

    Hope that sets your mind at rest a bit,

    Hi Claire 

    I've just just finished mine. My appointment is 3 weeks after also.

    I think it's just a check up to see how your doing with the healing up I guess.

  • Thanks guys, I just thought it seemed a bit quick as they said at clinic they would see me in August. I had a lot of trouble with an extravasation when I was inpatient week 5 so thought maybe it had been brought forward because of that Xx

    Hi

    I had a check-in phone call the 2nd week after treatment finished, then a physical check-up 6 weeks later. Scans were done at 12 weeks, results were 2 weeks later. Things will vary between hospitals.

    Thanks. I'm thinking it's maybe just been brought forward a bit as unfortunately I've been up at Assessment Unit twice since I finished treatment due to extravasation I had. Guess I'll find out next Mon :)

    Hi Claire. 

    I heard nothing from the hospital after treatment and my follow up appt was exactly 6 weeks after.
