Follow-Up Visits (Check Ups)

After your treatment is completed your follow-up care will be arranged either at the Cancer Centre or at one of our clinics in Peterborough, Brockville, Smiths Falls, Trenton or the Belleville Oncology Clinic. The follow-up visit is to find out how you are feeling and talks about any concerns you have about your cancer or treatment.

Many health care professionals provide your health care: therefore you may not always see the same doctor at each visit.

Should you have any questions or concerns before your appointment, please feel free to contact the Centre or to discuss them at the time of your visit. You can write down your questions ahead of your visit.

The Cancer Centre sends a copy of every note about your care to your family doctor and to the Doctor who referred you to the Cancer Centre. You can change these directions at any time.

We suggest you keep close and regular contact with your family doctor during your cancer treatment and after it is finished. Please tell the Cancer Centre if you change your family doctor.
