What post-treatment follow up did you have/are you having/will you have?
My cancer at post-op histology (Feb 22) was grade 1, stage 2, and I had 25 x radio and 2 x brachy, finished mid-May 22. I was originally told one check up with the oncologist post treatment and that I’d then be referred to patient-led follow up (with nurse support). But when I had that appointment (with internal), I was told I would have one more in three months’ time (which happened today, with internal). Today I was told I’d have one more - a final one (with internal) - in a further three months’ time. And then be put on patient-led with nurse support. I don’t mind at all as it’s good to have some monitoring - I’m just aware that it’s changed since the summer so I imagine there’s been some kind of care review, either just by my hospital or perhaps nationally? I thought it might be interesting to compare. Obviously there will likely be some variation depending on grade/stage and treatment, and may also be some regional policy differences.
