What happenes next?

Hello,

just wondered if somebody could share some light on what may happen next.  

My Mum was diagnosed last August, after a lot of waiting and not much contact from anybody she finally got a phone call from an oncologist who told her chemo plan.  Is it normal to never have met your oncologist?  

My Mum is due to have her last round this week.  What happens next?  We have never heard from the oncologist since or any of his team.  Again is this normal?

What does usually happen after chemo has ended.  I can only imagine she will need more testing???

Thank you

  • Hi Vic_D and welcome to the forum, although I'm sorry to hear about the lack of contact your mum has had from her oncologist whilst she's been having treatment. 

    Unfortunately I can't answer your question but our team of cancer nurses may be able to help, so if you'd like to speak with them about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    I'm sure some of our members will share their experiences and advice with you soon as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Vic_D and wishing your mum all the best with her last round of chemo.

    Kind regards,
