 What Happens After Treatment
You may have a lot on your mind as your cancer treatment ends. You may need follow-up care from your medical team, or you may need to bring a new doctor up to speed on your situation. Get information about what to expect after treatment for your specific cancer type. Also learn about cancer recurrence—what it is and how to cope with the possibility of your cancer returning.
 

 Coping with Physical and Emotional Side Effects
Even though you’re out of treatment, you may still be coping with reminders of your diagnosis on a regular basis. Learn how to deal with pain and other physical side effects, and find classes to help with the emotional and financial issues you may be facing.
