Follow-up medical care in Shanghai

No matter what type of cancer you have had, after your chemo treatments end in Shanghai, you will still need to see your doctor. Your doctor will check your progress and help you deal with any problems you may have. Once the treatment is over, there is a chance that the cancer might come back. There is no way to know if this will happen to you, but your doctor will want to watch for this. This part of your treatment is called follow-up care. Here are some questions you might want to ask your doctor in Shanghai after chemo:

• When can I go back to doing my normal activities?
• How often will I need to see you?
• Which tests will be done and why?
• Do I need to be on a special diet?
• What should I watch for to know if the cancer is back?
