It focuses on the possible long-term effects of cancer and its treatment.
We offer a general haematology long-term follow-up clinic. This is for people treated for blood cancer. We also offer a post-allogeneic bone marrow transplant long-term follow-up clinic. Your primary haematologist can refer you to our service. Or you can contact us to discuss your individual situation.
At your appointment, we will review your medical records. This will include past cancer diagnoses and treatment. We will also look at your current health status and general quality of life.
We’ll provide you with a comprehensive summary of recommendations. These can serve as a useful guide to your medical team. The summary will outline potential late effects. It will also offer helpful medical information. This information will relate to your past treatment and future care.
