Long term

Cancer treatment can sometimes cause long term changes to your body. These effects may not show up for months or years after treatment has finished and some can be permanent. Some people learn ways to live with cancer, and some people find it a constant worry that the cancer may come back.

Long term, some people might find it helpful to...

  • Other people who have finished their cancer treatment tell us that they worry the cancer will come back. This is a normal response for people who have been through cancer treatment. There are some resources below that may help you.

  • Some people like to join support groups either face to face or online. This is not for everyone, but it might be something for you to consider.

  • Research has shown that regular physical activity can help manage the side-effects and keep you in a better emotional place following cancer treatment. If you haven’t already attended the Cancer Physiotherapy Exercise group, this might be a good time to consider this option. It’s a great way to feel comfortable being physically active and be surrounded by other people going through a similar experience.

  • For some people cancer may become a life-limiting illness. This can be a rollercoaster for people, families, and carers. We are here to support you, and link you to services to support you through this time.
