Helo Py49

I'm sorry to hear about all that you've been through but it's great to know that your treatment has been deemed successful and your most recent scan showed no evidence of disease. 

Although you have the safety net of knowing that you can contact the team directly if you have any concerns in the next two years, it's understandable that you're feeling anxious about there being no further scans. It is a fine balance of weighing up the risks of additional, potentially unnecessary, radiation by having regular scans and relying on the patient to notice any changes or flag any concerns they have. 

Many people find that after active treatment comes to an end, they struggle with knowing how to move forward and the fear that a potential recurrence can leave lingering. Sometimes it can help to talk with someone about your concerns and strategies to help you move forward. It may be that there is an organisation such as Maggie's in your local area where you can access support but you can also ask your specialist nurse what services are available to support you. If you think it might help to talk things through with one of our team of nurses you're most welcome to give them a call. I know they would be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.

I hope that you have continued good health Py49 and that as time goes on you feel less concerned. 

Sending my best wishes,
