Create a Care Plan

At the end of treatment, cancer survivors are usually provided with a personalized Survivorship Care Plan. This plan details their diagnosis and treatment history, serving as a guide to help manage ongoing healthcare needs, address any future symptoms, and access resources that promote a healthy and fulfilling life after treatment. If you have new or unusual symptoms, call your provider.
