Congratulations! You have completed cancer treatment and have a new outlook on life. At MD Anderson, we know that being a cancer survivor brings its own set of challenges that affect every aspect of your life. It's our goal to make life after cancer the best it can be, and we have the resources to help get you there.
Follow-up care after cancer treatment
Follow-up care plays a vital role in your life after cancer. It includes regular check-ups, monitoring for recurrence and managing any lasting effects of treatment. Our team can help you build a survivorship plan to make the most out of life.


Long-term physical effects
Some side effects of cancer and its treatments can last for months or even years after treatment ends. Understanding these possible long-term effects can help you recognize symptoms early and take steps to manage them with your health care team’s support. Find out what to expect and how to manage your symptoms.
Social & emotional impacts of cancer
Psychological and emotional challenges are common after cancer, and they can sometimes surface long after treatment has ended. The good news is that help is available. Whether it’s through therapy, support groups, online communities, or local resources, you can find tools and people to help you cope and heal.


Legal & financial impacts of cancer
Cancer can bring unexpected legal and financial challenges. It’s important to know your rights at work, understand care costs, explore financial support and prepare legal documents to make your wishes known about medical treatment.
