Medical disclaimer
If this is an emergency
Call your local emergency number or go to an emergency department. Do not use this website to decide whether an emergency is an emergency. What counts as urgent after cancer treatment.
General information, not medical advice
LifeAfterward publishes general information about life during and after cancer treatment. It is written for a broad international audience and cannot take account of your diagnosis, your treatment, your other conditions, your medications or your circumstances.
Nothing on this site is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a recommendation to start, stop or change any treatment. It does not create a clinician–patient relationship.
Your healthcare team comes first
Where anything here differs from what your own clinicians tell you, follow your clinicians. They know your case and we do not. Never delay seeking medical advice, and never disregard advice you have been given, because of something you read here.
Practice varies
Follow-up schedules, available services, medications, employment rights and financial support differ substantially between countries and between hospitals. Descriptions here are typical patterns, not entitlements or guarantees, and your own plan is the one that applies to you.
Information changes
Cancer guidance moves. Every page shows when it was last reviewed and lists the sources it was written from. We review pages at least annually, but a page may not reflect the most recent guidance at the moment you read it. See our editorial standards.
External links
We link to organisations we consider trustworthy. We do not control their content and are not responsible for it.
My Journey
My Journey is a personal notebook stored on your own device. It is not a medical record, it is not seen by any clinician, and nothing entered into it is monitored by anyone. Do not use it to report symptoms — contact your healthcare team. How your data is handled.
No liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Conjora Limited accepts no liability for any loss or harm arising from reliance on information published on this site. Use it as a starting point for conversations with your healthcare team, which is what it is for.
