Patients often comment that the moment they were told they need not come back to the Christie for follow-up brings a mixture of emotions including joy and anxiety. They describe feelings of being "let loose" and "set free", but sometimes also "abandoned" and "lost". We would like to support you through what can be a difficult time of transition for you and your families.
We know from what patients have told us that the period after treatment can be challenging and difficult in different ways and demand different types of strength and support. You may be able to take much greater control, and there may be less obvious sources of help. On this website you will find a range of resources that you may find useful at different times after you finish treatment.
