- Be prepared for care withdrawal -You will be scheduled for follow-up care after your treatment is completed. Appointments are spaced to accommodate the various needs of each patient. If there are no serious problems, the return to post-treatment life entails working on your own to regain strength and stamina.
- Be aware of possible ongoing side effects - One of the factors that keep you going through recovery is the knowledge that the majority of the worst side effects will go away once the treatment is over. Even if you emotionally plan for the best result, reality can be very different. Many of the side effects may continue to be treated long after treatment has finished. Alternatively, certain side effects can reappear.
- Hold on to your social support - When you're having trouble dealing with your cancer treatment, your family caregiver takes on the role of coach and support. When you're transitioning out of your care, you'll always need them.
