Post treatment

After completing treatment, your child will continue to receive regular follow-up care and monitoring to check for any signs of recurrence or long-term effects of treatment. 

The South West Aftercare Service is a clinical service dedicated to the care and support of patients who were treated for cancer or leukaemia (or certain related conditions) from the ages of 0-24 years. 

It aims to provide patients with information about their treatment and possible effects on their future health, through individualised assessment and recommendations for future monitoring. All aspects of health are reviewed and undertaken by professionals who specialise in this area of healthcare. The service also works closely with other medical specialists and coordinates care to address complex needs and consequences following cancer treatment.
