The end of breast cancer treatment brings excitement and relief to many patients. It can also be a problematic time, as one deals with concerns about a recurrence and learns how to function without seeing their care team so often. For those with advanced breast cancer, it may not go away completely. These patients might continue to receive hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and other treatments to relieve symptoms and keep cancer under control. Even if a patient has finished treatment, their doctors will watch them closely. It’s important to attend all follow-up appointments. During these doctor visits, the team will perform an examination and ask about any issues that may occur. However, if a patient has any concerns about their cancer, they don’t have to wait until their next visit—they should call their doctor right away.
