After your treatment is complete, a follow up appointment will be scheduled so that your radiation oncologist can make sure your recovery is proceeding normally. Follow-up care is aimed at assessing the disease status and managing side effects. Your radiation oncologist may also order additional lab work, X-Rays, and other diagnostic tests. Reports on your treatment may also be sent to the other doctors helping treat your cancer. As time goes by, the number of times you need to visit your radiation oncologist will decrease. However, you should know that your radiation oncology team will always be available if you ever need to speak to someone about your treatment.
