After you finish chemotherapy, you will have an appointment with your oncologist. You may have tests, and your oncologist will ask you about any side effects. They will also talk to you about any further treatment that you might need.
Once your chemotherapy has finished, you will have a CT scan every few months. If your cancer starts to grow, you may need to have more chemotherapy. Or you may be offered other treatments to manage your symptoms. This will depend on your cancer and how chemotherapy affected you.
If you need more treatment, your oncologist may mention clinical trials. Ask them about any trials that may be suitable for you.
